SAMUEL CALHOUN, patentee, P.O. Edinburgh, was born in Trumbull County, Ohio,
September 23, 1823; son of Andrew and Elizabeth Calhoun, natives of
Pennsylvania, who came to Trumbull County in a very early day and there
remained until their death, in 1833 and 1877 respectively.  Our subject was
married, October 3, 1844, to Martha J. Lynn, born in Pennsylvania in 1826,
daughter of John Lynn (deceased).  Mr. and Mrs. Calhoun have had five
children:  Mary E. (wife of C.G. Fisher), James G., Emily J. (wife of J.W.
Wilson), Florence E. (wife of Col. Vaughn), and Viola A. (wife of Will
Hilliar).  Our subject was a stock-dealer for some years, but for the
greater part of his life has been engaged in inventing, and has made
improvements on gates and fencing.
