General Notes: Husband - John Francis Calhoun


He attended first the district schools, then McKeesport academy, and Curry university, of Pittsburgh, and finally studied law at the Ann Arbor law school, in Michigan. Graduating from that institution in 1890, Mr. Calhoun came to McKeesport, Pennsylvania, where for two years he practiced alone, and then formed a partnership with Mr. G. A. Johnson. He also had an office in McKeesport. In political belief he was a republican, and served on the McKeesport school board, representing the tenth ward, for over nine years. In the practice of his profession, Mr. Calhoun met with unusual success. He was for seven years solicitor for Reynoldton, until that borough was made a part of McKeesport, was solicitor for Port Vue nine years, and later was solicitor for East McKeesport. He was a member of Royal Arcanum, No. 105, and Junior O. U. A. M., Hero council, No. 666. He belonged to the Methodist Church.
He was an excellent marksman, devoted to the sport, and for some years held all records for trap shooting for the western half of Allegheny county.
