Party for Mr. John C. MCCALMONT before Moving to Houston [Pa]


From the McDonald PA Record newpaper, March 6, 1914, page unknown:

Surprise on Mr. John C. MCCALMONT

On Thursday evening of last week the denizens of the entire community surrounding his home swarmed in upon Mr. John C. MCCALMONT. They came early and they stayed late, and all enjoyed themselves. The "surprise" was not of the usual brand in which everybody concerned "knows all about it days ahead", but was in reality a surprise. Mr. and Mrs. MCCALMONT are moving to Houston* where they will make their future home; and this gathering was a spontaneous expression of the universal esteem and high regard in which the community holds this worthy couple.

John C. MCCALMONT is seventy-four years of age, and was born and reared on the farm adjoining the one he now leaves. He has been a life-long member of Center United Presbyterian Church. Mrs. MCCALMONT was Miss Minnie HENDERSON of Houston, and they have been married twenty-seven years. Mrs. MCCALMONT has been presiding officer of the Women's Missionary Society for eight years, and a well loved teacher in the Sabbath School for a much longer period.

The crowd numbered more that a hundred, and thy brought refreshments with them. Several varieties of sandwiches, all kinds of cake, potato salad, olives, pickles coffee and ice cream in generous quantities, composed the improvised menu. Rev. Dr. G. M. KERR said "grace" in his impressive manner.

On the previous day, the Women's Missionary Society had presented Mrs. MCCALMONT with a handsome cut-glass water pitcher. On this occasion the community presented the couple with a massive antique oak rocking chair in mission style, with wide arms and fine leather upholstery. 

Mr. MCCALMONT served his country in Co. K, 140th Penn'a. Volunteer Infantry, and has more than a local reputation as a breeder of high-class thoroughbred Holstein cattle.

Webmaster Note:  * Most likely Houston, PA.
