Of the children in this family I met Ed, John, Jr. Nellie and Lucy. The only
one I remember is Uncle Ed, who was a tall, handsome man with full head
of pure while hair. He was more or less retired and working in a hotel in
Muscatine, Muscatine, Iowa when I was a child. He was every inch a
gentleman. I believe he resembled my great grandfather, George. I am not
sure, but I believe that the Calverts lived near Newton.
