[36]
For eighty-four years, Noble Calhoon traveled life's journy, and each year that passed was warked with good deeds and the record of an honarable career; and in the evening of life he recieved the veneration and respect which should ever be accorded those who live worthily, faithfully performing each duty and following their honest convictions of right and wrong.
He was born November 29, 1816, in Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, his parents being Noble Calhoun Sr , and Sarah Taylor . His father was born near Cork, Ireland, and when about twenty-two years of age, crossed the briny deep to the new world, settling in Pennsylvania, where he followed farming. He there met and married Miss Taylor, a native of that state, and in 1831 they emigrated with their family to Richland County, where the father became the owner of a large tract of land. He was also the proprieter of a mill in this neighborhood, and the conduct of his business affairs gained a good capital. He died when about eighty-four years of age, and his wife passed away when seventy-seven years of age. She was a member of the United Presbyterian Church.
When a youth of fifteen, the subject of our memoir accompanied his parents to Ohio, and ever after that was a resident of Richland County, Ohio. He assisted in the arduous task of transforming the wild lands into richly cultivated farmland, and to his father he gave the benifits of his labor until his marriage, after which he operated the mill for several years. When his father died, he became administrator of his will and settled the estate, and when the proprety was disposed of, Mr. Calhoon bid in his present home of two hundred and twenty-nine acres to which he has subsequently added forty acres. The cultivation of his fields and this improvement of the farm occupied the greater part of his time and energies and in this manner he has added continually to his income, his consistantly argumented capital making him one of the substantual residents of the community.
Mr Calhoon was united in marriage to Eliza Willick , a native of Allegheny county, Pennsylvania. She was a member of the United Presbyterian Church, and died in that faith at the age of sixty- eight years. Mr. and Mrs. Calhoon became the parents of five children:Mary J., the eldest, is the widow of J. Newton Prtchard and resides in Worthington Township. Alexander still occupies the same home place, superintending it's interests. During the civil war, he responded to the call to arms, enlisting on the 2nd of May, 1864 for 100 days as a member of Company D, 163rd regiment of the Ohio Volenteers. For five years he was the postmaster of Butler. He belongs to the Bellville Lodge, No 376, F. & A. M. of Bellville, and is a wide awake, enterprising businessman. Sarah Calhoun Died when 43 years old. D. L. is a farmer in Worthington Township. Margret, the youngest of the family , died at the age of seventeen years.
In his political views, Mr. Calhoon was early a Whig, and on the dissolution of that party and the organization of the Republican party joined the latter. In earlier days he took quite an active part in political affairs, and after serving for two terms as justice of the peace, refused to hold the position any longer. Many years ago he became a member of the Masonic Fraternity of Mansfield, and probobly lived to be the oldest Mason in Richland County, dying October 4, 1900. He was a man of strong individuality, of marked force of charecter, and of decided opinion. He had no use for anything or anyone that he didn't like, and ws very strong in friendship when he believed that it was given to one worthy of it. His career was an active, useful, and honarable one, and his life record contained many lessons that are worthy of emulation.
