CALVIN WALDO, farmer, P.O. Edinboro, Erie
County, was born in 1810 in Bennington County, Vt., and is the son of
Gersham and Martha Waldo. He married, in 1835, Miss Polly Ann Calkins,
of Genesee County, N.Y., born in Cayuga County, N.Y., in 1814. They
settled where they now live, in Cussewago Township, this county, in
1837, and cleared up and developed a fine farm. Their children were
Gersham C., who died in Kansas, September 10, 1858; Daniel C., in
Crawford County, Penn.; Thomas B., in Erie County, Penn.; Mrs. Mary
Lewis, in Erie County, Penn. Our subject, formerly a member of the
Baptist Church, is now an adherent of the Seventh Day Baptist Church, to
which he and his worthy wife have belonged ever since the organization
of the Cussewago Church, about thirty-five years ago. Mr. Waldo is a
Christian of deep piety, and firm convictions in his chosen faith. He is
one of the old respected pioneer citizens, whose manly efforts and
self-denial have aided to redeem this prosperous land from the
wilderness.
