SPLENDID CITIZEN CALLED BY DEATH

   The sad news of the death of Mrs. Evelyn A. H. Calvert in Houston, Texas,
yesterday morning, though not unexpected, came as a shock to her many
relatives and friends in Natchez and neighboring Louisiana parishes.
   For several months she had been fighting valiantly against the dread chemy
in Houston, the home of 3 of her children, but the greatest medical skill
and the devoted ministrations of loved ones proved ultimately to be in vain,
and she passed away peacefully on Wednesday morning at seven-thirty.
   All of her children, and her sister, Mrs. A. J. Melton, were with her when
the end came.
   Mrs. Calvert was born in Concordia Parish, La., April 1, 1865, the daughter
of Dr. Samuel B. Hornsby and Myra Crosgrove Hornsby.  She was the wife of the
late Andrew T. Calvert, and is survived by two sons Samuel H. Calvert, of
Concordia Parish and Andrew T. Calvert of Houston; two daughters, Mrs. Jeff D.
Farrish and Mrs. Susanne Farrish, both of Houston; two grandchildren, Jeff D.
Farrish, Jr., and Samuel H. Calvert, Jr., one sister, Mrs. A. J. Melton of this
city and other relatives.
   Mrs. Calvert was connected by birth and marriage to some of the oldest
families in this section of Louisiana and Mississippi.  She was a woman of lovely
character and rare social graces, and was greatly beloved by a wide circle of
relatives and friends because of her affectionate interest in and sympathetic
help towards all that concerned them.
   She was a faithful member of Trinity Church, loyal and active in all its
interests.  She will be greatly missed.
   The earthly remains, accompanied by relatives and friends arrived by special
car over the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley railway early yesterday morning and
the funeral services were held in the Trinity Church this afternoon at 3:30,
Rev. Joseph Kuehnle officiating.
   The following gentlemen served as pall bearers:  A. T. Bowie, Jr., F. D. Brown,
Joseph F. Dixon, H. C. Bowie, Dr. Temple Smith, George T. Chamberlain,
Dr. H. M. Smith, and Joseph Kellogg.
   The sympathy of the entire community goes out to the bereaved family.
