   He is survived by a wife and one daughter, Mrs. Amelia Morehouse of Cortland, and a granddaughter, Mrs. Eva Smith of Union Valley.  The funeral was very largely attended Saturday, Rev. W. W. Watrous of McDonough officiating.  Burial was at McDonough in the village cemetery. 

   Several old veterans were present.  Mr. Calvert was a warm-hearted man and will be sincerely missed from the neighborhood.  Mrs. Morehouse and Mrs. Smith will remain with Mrs. Calvert for a while.
