I am sure this is the Raymond CALHOUN I am looking for. He is the brother of my Ruth Pearl
CALHOUN born abt. 1908, Kentucky.
My Raymond E. CALHOUN born abt. 1910/1911 in Kentucky.
Siblings I'm aware of:
Ruth Pearl CALHOUN (b. abt. 1908) Kentucky
Clay W. CALHOUN (b. abt. 1903) Kentucky
Their parents are listed on the 1920 Butler, Ohio Census are:
Max C. CALHOON (born 1855 KY)
Rosy B. (born 1867 KY)
The census taker could have misspelled their names.
I was told Raymond died at a young age (1949 would make him 39). He was his sister's
Ruth favorite brother. Ruth died in 1972 in San Francisco, CA.
In 1930, my Raymond was 19, single and living with sister Ruth and her husband Elza
SHAFFER on Burns Street, Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio (per 1930 Census). He was working
as an assembler at El or Ed Motors. His sister Ruth moved with 4 kids to LA, California
after her husband died in 1936.
I've been told Ruth's mother was part Indian. Ruth's grandfather may have been
the famous statesman John C. Calhoun,
