Calvin Starry

Calvin Starry died at his home near Heidlersburg, Adams county, July 13, after 
an illness of nine months, from cancer, aged 44 years.

Mr. Starry contracted the disease by having a tooth broken off and by having 
this tooth replaced.  The tooth grew fast and the gum apparently healed, but in 
time developed the disease which caused his death.  In order to prolong his 
life, a portion of the jaw bone was removed at a Philadelphia hospital in 
December, 1912.  The operation proved unsuccessful.  He suffered intense pain 
during his illness, but bore it patiently to the end.

He was a member of the St. Mark’s Lutheran church of Heidlersburg, a member of 
the P. O. S. of A. Lodge of the same place, and a member of Jr. O. U. A. M. 
Lodge, of Hampton.
