C.C. Calvin was named Christopher Columbus by his father, then his name was changed to Christopher Charles later when his mother's long-lost brother, Charles, came to visit them. The nickname "Lum" had stuck by this time, and that was the name he was known by during his life. He lived most of his life on the farm his father settled; never traveled more than 300 miles from home.
It was at a baptismal service at a local stock tank that Lum fell in love at first sight with Viola Brazeel of Archer City, Texas. They were married 27 December 1898 at Archer City, Texas. Nine children were born to this union: one girl, a twin died at birth; four girls and four boys.
Lum Calvin was a pillar in the Plum Grove Baptist church at Markley. He was a deacon for 50 years and Sunday School Superintendent for 30 years. He and Viola honored his mother and father by caring for them until their death.
Life wasn't easy in the 1930s and Viola was a pioneer wife, working beside her husband in everything. Many a preacher and other friends enjoyed Sunday dinner prepared by Viola Calvin from food produced on the farm. She never knew how many people came home from church with Lum and the children, but she always 'set a good table" by frying chicken, making hot biscuits, and bringing vegetables which she had canned up from the cellar.
Lum eked out a living on the rocky dry land farm and managed to support and educate eight children through high school, some through college.
