King was identified with the agricultural interests of Wabash County. In this time it is doubtful if any one man accomplished more for the advancement of farming here. Possessed of energy, initiative, and courageous self-reliance, he introduced new methods, promoted new innovations and encouraged progress in every possible way, and while gaining personal fortune was able to contribute materially to his communities prosperity. His life was a useful and helpful one, and his name is deserving of being remembered among the men who assisted the county and it's growth during the time of it's greatest development. Mr. King was a native of Wayne County, Indiana and was born in October 1833, a son of Dean & Esther (Carpenter) King. He was reared to manhood in Clinton county, Ohio, where he received only a common school education, and at the age of twenty-one years came to Wabash county, probably attracted here by the fact that people from his section in Ohio had come here and were prospering. Mr. King purchased land near Pioneer, which at that time had but few improvements. Some time later the parents of Calvin C. King came to this county and settled near Wabash, in Noble township. They subsequently moved to Lafayette, and from there to Wayne county, near Richmond, where they passed the remainder of their days. Calvin C. King was hard working and industrious and with the passing of time accumulated considerable property, at one time owning 240 acres. He was married twice, his first wife being Mary Heston, by whom he had two children, and his second wife was Adeline Votaw, who bore him four children. His second wife was a daughter of John Votaw, who was one of the earliest settlers here, coming to Wabash county in 1841. Calvin C. King was a farmer of more than average ability. He was a subscriber to several agricultural periodicals, was an advanced thinker along scientific farming lines, and was a pioneer in the breeding of a higher grade of stock than the common scrub variety. He was one of the first to join in with other farmers to bring a thoroughbred Norman horse to Wabash county, and also, in a similar way, was a pioneer in the introduction of Short Horn cattle. He served as president of the Agricultural Society of the county and in many ways was a man of superior attainments. In religious belief he was a Quaker, but after being dropped from membership owing to having married outside of the church, he became a Methodist, and in that faith passed away in August, 1895. In politics he was a republican. He stood for all that was good for the best interests of the community, and was a liberal contributor to all worthy enterprises. Charitable in his actions towards his fellow men, he commanded universal respect, and had the regard of a wide circle of admiring friends. From "History of Wabash County, Indiana", by Clarkson Weesner, pub. 1914, pp 956-957.
