He was educated in the Cumberland University, Lebanon, Tenn., and studied Theology in the Seminary at Princeton, N.J. He was licensed by the Presbytery of Chapman, and ordained in 1852. He was secretary for several years of the Board of Foreign and Domestic Missions of the Cumberland Church, and editor of the "Missionary," a periodical of the Church. He paid considerable attention to teaching. In the winter of 1858 he went up to Minnesota, and during his stay, whilst riding out with his wife in a sleigh, his horse became unmanageable, and running off a bridge, they all fell, and Mr. Calhoun was killed instantly, his wife was also injured.
Mr. C., was a son of Rev. Thos. Calhoun, one of the first ministers in the Cumberland Church, and a nephew of Rev. John Provine, and having been carefully trained, with a cultivated intellect and refined manners, he bid fair to be a very useful minister to the Church.
