         [p. 122]

           D. CALKINS, blacksmith, was born in Charleston, Orleans Co.,
	 Vt., June 26, 1844, and when two years of age removed to
	 Quebec, and at eleven again removed to Watertown, Wis. On July
	 12, 1861, at the first call, he enlisted in Company I, Seventh
	 Wisconsin Infantry, serving bravely through the war, but chiefly
	 in Company C, Sixteenth Wisconsin Infantry; was with SHERMAN to
	 the sea, and discharged September 3, 1865. He came to Hart, Sept-
	 ember 1, 1877, and has been there ever since, with the exception
	 of an engagement with SANDS & MAXWELL, of Pentwater, for about a
         year, and which will terminate next Spring, when he intends to
         again become a resident of Hart. He married, December 5, 1872,
         NETTIE L. ANDERSON, of Ohio. MR. CALKINS is an excellent work-
         man, thoroughly master of all its details.
