Stark, and Brown Cypress Company sawmill was in operation.

Calvin loved Donner during the years he lived there in the sawmill days. He 
wrote a segment in Jo Anne Plessala's book, "Donner Memories, a Second Helping" 
in which he stated: "I cherish the memories of the little town I lived in so 
many years ago, and I often share these memories with my family and childhood 
friends. I do not know why, but I seem to be obsessed with the place of my 
roots – the place I called 'home' for the first 12 years of my life."

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in his name to a charity of 
choice .
