General Notes:
Thomas Calk Sr. was the son of William Calk, the pioneer. He died in Montgomery county in 1853, on the farm his father had settled and which is still in the possession of his descendents. His wife, whose maiden name was Keas, is still living at an advanced age. He left two sons, I. F. and Thomas Calk, and several daughters, all of whom are now living. Thomas Calk Sr. was a man of kind heart, positive character and firm opinions. He inherited the strong body and mind of his father, and was a man of prominence and influence in the community; his home was a seat of generous hospitality, and all were welcome to his bounteous board. Cradled in the wilderness, he retained all his life his love for hunting and field sports, and, when civilization had stripped the forests and expelled the game, he was never so happy as when spending his time in the mountains with a few genial friends. He accumulated a fine estate and passed away full of years. 4739
