tive county and had served short
time as an assistant to his father on
the farm and as clerk in a grocery
store but when he came to Illinois ia
1855 ne began life over as locomo-
tive fireman and for two years worked
as a fireman on the Illinois Central
Railway. After two years of this work
he returned to Oswego, but he had al
ready taken the Western fever and
again he came to Kenosha where he
settled permanently. His first eight
years in Kenosha were spent working
as clerk in grocery store but his
ability as a salesman brought him to
the notice of Sprague, Warner & Co.,
the pioneer Chicago wholesale grocery
firm and he went into the employ of
that company as travelling salesman.
He continued in this work for ten wears
forming wide acquaintance with peo-
pie in all parts of the Middle West. Ii
1878 he gave up his place with the Chi
cago company and returned to Keno
sha and opened a grocery store He
business
in Kenosha until 1891 when he retired
from active business life..
In politics Mr.. Calkins is a Repub-
lican and this fact added further SEN
timent to his presentation of the mon
ument of Lincoln as he cast his first
vote at Presidential election for Mr..
Lincoln. Mr.. Calkins has been an ac-
tive worker in the ranks Of the party.
He served the city ably in the capacity
|of Alderman Of the Second Ward and
was at one time President of the City
Council. After he completed his work
as Alderman he was elected as mem
Der of the Board Of Water Commission
ers and he served in that capacity for
six years. In his public life Mr. Calk-
ms was true representative of the.
people and there was no blot on his
service at any time.
Of the private life Of Mr.. Calkins it
can be said that he was twice mar
ried. On Feb. Is, 1868, he was married
to Miss Avis Myers Of Bennington,
VT, but Mrs. Calkins lived but eleven
months. Mr.. Calkins was married Oh
June l, 1874, to Miss Elizabeth M.
O'Neill. One son was born to them
but he died in infancy.
Mr.. Calkins has been one Of the
most active members of St. Matthews
Episcopal church, having been con-
firmed as a member of the church by
Bishop Jackson Kemper thirty-fve
years ago. For many years Mr.. Calk-
ms has been Senior Warden of the
church and he takes a deep interest in
the work Of the parish. He has been
a member Of Kenosha Lodge No. AZ, F.
and A. M. for more than forty years
and is also an honored member of Ke-
nosha Chapter No. 3, R. A. NJ
The work Of erecting the Lincoln
monument will be started at once and
the contractors declare that there is
no doubt but that it will be com
pleted in time for dedication on Me
mortal Day Of this year.

Lincoln is even more widely appre-
ciated than Washington. The appeal
of Washington has always been rather
to the intellectual than to the domes-
tic affections, whereas Lincoln comes
home to the genial and tender side. It
is not that Washington is without in
7uence on the hearts Of his country
men, or Lincoln without a claim to
high consideration as a purely intel
lectual force. The point is that the
chief element in the one case is an
austere devotion to duty and in the
other an unaffected kindness which
gives to duty the glow Of love. Brook
