Message Board Post:
I am searching for information on the family of Benjamin Franklin Calkins & Martha
Matilda Moore. While I'm not related, I am working on a book of the people who are
buried at the Olivet/Glasgow Cemetery in Osage Co., KS for the Osage Co. Historical
Society.
Benjamin (b. 11-29 or 30-1845 Wawasee, Kosciusko Co., IN, d. 2-22-1902 Olivet Twp., Osage
Co., KS) was the son of Charles Sullivan Calkins & Nancy Rosetta Barnes. His siblings
included Elmer & Elmer Urbane.
Martha b. (11-27-1852 Shell Rock Village, Bremer Co., IA, d.6-12-1930 Olivet Twp., Osage
Co., KS) was the daughter of John J. Moore & Eliza Jane Thornbrough. Her siblings
included John W., Nancy Jane, Mary, Aaron, Rhoda, Phoebe, Minnie & George.
Their children were:
Anna Rosetta [Joseph Franklin Cheever]
Ivan Leoman [Maude Kinder]
Vanilla J. [Ernest Clark]
Olive Nita [John Thomas Vaughan]
Phoebe Leona [David Frank Hawkins]
Franklin Stanhope [Ethel Thompson]
William Earl [Gladys Evaline Woodward]
Carl Elwood **also buried at Olivet/Glasgow Cemetery
I would like to verify the spouses of all listed. Also, any information (occupations,
residences, memberships, cause of death, special memories, etc.) about Benjamin, Martha
& Carl would be helpful.
I can be reached via this message board or directly at newtonmac(a)msn.com.
