---------------

James Calland came from Scotland to the county about 1819 with his parents,
Joseph and Elizabeth. They settled near Summerfield, where the elder
Calland died in 1832. His wife lived until 1879, when she died at the
remarkable age of ninety-four years. They were prominent Methodists. James
Calland married Miss Ara A. Ogg. By this union there were three children -
Robert, Mary E. (Wilson) and Sarah E. (Bell). Mrs. Calland died in 1848,
and in 1853 he was again married to Miss Lucy Stanley. They had four
children - Diantha A. (King), Clement (dead), Mary C. (dead), Urana (dead).
Soon after his first marriage Mr. Calland sold his farm near Summerfield,
and bought the place he now owns in Stock. He is a member of the United
Brethern church, in which organization he is a local preacher. Joseph
Calland, Jr., was married in 1868 to Miss Hester A. Osborn. They have three
children - Wilbur, Lillie and Eliza A. November 6, 1863, Mr. Calland
enlisted in the Ninety-second Ohio Volunteer Infantry; was with Sherman in
his "march to the sea," and all the engagements in which his regiment
participated but one. He has served his fellow townsmen as trustee; is a
member of the Methodist Episcopal church and the Grand Army of the
Republic.
