>From "The History of Pickaway County and Representative Citizens" dated 1909

Henry R. Calvert, a prominent citizen of Pickaway township, Pickaway County,
a member of the School Board and one of the substantial farmers of his
locality, has been established on his well-cultivated farm of 105 acres for
the past 26 years.  Mr. Calvert bears an honorable old name of Maryland and
Virginia, and was born in the latter State, July 28, 1852.  He is a son of
Jacob and Margaret (Grant) Calvert.

The parents of Mr. Calvert, who were Virginians by birth, removed to Hocking
County, Ohio, when Henry R. was but nine months old.  There he was reared
and educated in the district schools.  From boyhood he has been accustomed
to agricultural labor and has been a successful farmer for many years.  He
settled in Pickaway township, Pickaway County, in 1877, and purchased his
present farm in 1900.  This he has continued to cultivate and improve.  He
devotes attention to the growing of corn, wheat, oats and hay and raises
considerable stock.

In 1874, in Hocking County, Ohio, Mr. Calvert was married to Eliza J.
Wilkins, who was a native of that county.  Mr. and Mrs. Calvert have five
children, viz.:  Pearl E. of Pickaway Township; Myrtle F., wife of Harry
Anderson, of Pickaway Township; Leona B., wife of Harley Allen, of Pickaway
township; Cora M., wife of Clifton Allen, of Washington township; and Berman
R., of Pickaway township.  Mr. Calvert, being a staunch believer in the
public school system, gave his children excellent opportunities for study in
the local schools.  Mr. Calvert is serving as a most efficient member of the
township School Board.

Politically, Mr. Calvert is affiliated with the Democratic party.
Fraternally he belongs to the Foresters, attending meetings of this body at
Circleville.  He is one of the leading members of the United Brethren
Church, known as the Morris Church, of which he is serving as a trustee.
