General Notes: Husband - Hon. John K. Calhoun

---

When quite young, he went to Kittanning, Pennsylvania, to obtain an academical education. He studied law in the office of Judge Buffington, and was admitted to practice December 18, 1850, upon motion of Hon. Thomas White. He soon exhibited unusual talent, and rose rapidly in his profession. In 1856 he was elected, on the Democratic ticket, to represent Armstrong County in the legislature, and served during the session of 1856-7. By re-election he became a member of the legislature of 1857-8. When the war broke out he took a deep interest in the success of the Unionists, and was elected captain of Company G, a Kittanning company of militia or emergency men. While attending court in Pittsburgh in the autumn of 1863, he fell ill with what proved to be typhoid fever, from which his death resulted.
