Feb 27, 1911 The State ---------------------------- Mrs Charlotte E Calhoun The Ninety Six Country has again to mourn the loss of one of its most prominent ladies, Mrs Charlotte E Calhoun died at the residence of her son, Mr L P Calhoun on the 23rd. She had been an invalid for a number of years, and in all that weary period was never heard to complain. Her religion was "Thy will be done and not mine." What a beautiful resignation and evidence of sincere piety. Mrs Calhoun was a most remarkable woman, one whom memory never failed. She was the genealogical encyclopedia of her section, knew when everybody was born, married and died, and almost everybody's age. Her religion was like the pure waters that flow, and her love for her family and neighbors akin to the love of the crucified One. God in His goodness endowed her intellectually and made her able to serve both Him and her fellow man. She has left as a heritage for her bereaved children and grandchildren a glorious memory for all time to come. She was 80 years old and the widow of Dr John W Calhoun than whom no better man ever lived among us. The surviving children are Mrs F P McGowan of Laurens, Mrs Joseph Talbert of Parksville, J A Calhoun and L P Calhoun and Mrs T C Turner of Greenwood. The ceremonies at the interment were performed by her pastor, the Rev F C Dibble. The writer's acquaintance with the deceased enables him to say that Mrs Calhoun was one of the best women he ever knew, "The salt of the eath." A host of friends regret her demise and tender to the bereaved ones sincere sympathy. Ninety Six Cor [?], Greenwood Journal. Charlotte E. Calhoun's obit from "The Laurens Advertiser". March 08, 1911. Posted by her great grandson, Doug Calhoun.
