Removing with his parents, at the age of ten years, to Venango County, he became well versed in avocations of the farmer by summer labor, and endeavored to acquire somewhat of education during the winter season. He learned the advantage of having a good trade to fall back upon, and, when eighteen, commenced work at the trade of carpenter and joiner, and followed it up till 1838. Beginning in 1838, Mr. McCalmont followed farming in Venango County, and in 1864, having sold out, he removed to Crawford County. For four-teen years he served as School Director. He held the title of Captain by right of seven years' service in the State militia. He and his wife were in accord in religion, as both were members of the United Presbyterian Church.

Of nine children, four were living in 1876.
