Rites Thursday For Pioneer Wife and Mother

  Funeral services will be held at 2:30 o'clock at the Montrose Funeral Home 
for Mrs. A. R. Calkins, 80, who passed away unexpectedly on Monday morning at 
5:30 o'clock at Montrose hospital after a week's illness.
  As she had been active in performing her usual duties up to almost the hour 
of her illness, her death was a distinct shock to members of her family and her 
friends. All of her close relatives arrived and were recognized before her 
passing.
  Mrs. Calkins was born Julia Lindsay of Scottish parents at Bailey's Harbor, 
Wis., on July 8, 1866. Left an orphan as a small girl her life was the usual 
struggle of those days. At the age of 19 she was married to A. R. Calkins at 
Wyocina, Wis., where the couple spent thier early years of life together on a 
farm they homesteaded in southern Minnesota.
  In 1892 they sold out and came to Colorado, living first on a small farm near 
Montrose. After a year they homesteaded their ranch in Shavano Valley where she 
lived the remainder of her life.  In 1935 Mr. Calkins passed away and she 
continued the operation of the farm and cattle business with the aid of her 
son, Ray L. Calkins.
  Survivors are two brothers, William E. Lindsay of Montrose and David J. 
Lindsay of Salt Lake City; two half brothers, Hugh McCready of Oregon and James 
McCready of Wisconsin; three children are Mrs. E. Everett H. Cain, Portland, 
Ore.; Mrs. William H. Barnes, Grand Junction; and Ray L. Calkins, Montrose.
  Seven grand-children are Mrs. Carlyle Musgrave, Seattle, Wash.; Miss Patricia 
Cain, Portland Ore,; Mrs. Maxine Swartz, Misses Eloise and Rose Marie Barnes, 
Grand Junction; Chief Yeoman LaVerne W. Barnes, now serving in the U.S. Navy 
and stationed in the Hawaiian Islands; Corporal Forrest W. Calkins, at present 
home on furlough and recently returned from overseas service in Korea.
  Another grand-son, Staff Sergeant Norvell A. Cain, of the Army Air Corp was 
shot down and killed in an air raid over Shanghai China.
  There are five great-grandchildren, Judith Ann and James Douglas Musgrave of 
Seattle, and Linda Marie, Elizabeth Gwen and Tommy Schwartz of Grand Junction.
