Farmer, name originally spelled Rearick. For a time moved with other family members to Maple Bay in Polk County, MN. Moved back to Union County, PA between 1895 - 1900.

Calvin fathered a child with Mary Benney whom he then married in November 1888. The marriage lasted for about four months before Calvin left. After her divorce from Calvin, Mary married Charles F. Thoms. Mary Benney Rearick and her child vanish from the record after this.

According to several successive census, starting in 1900, Calvin married [common law] his cousin, Emma Rearick, in 1896. There is, however, a properly executed application for a marriage license for Calvin and Emma on file, dated in 1886, with the Union County Prothonotary's Office (the license was not issued, as Pennsylvania had, in 1885, changed their law and now prohibited cousins from marrying) . It is possible they were married out of state, but as their last names were already the same it is likely they were simply living as husband and wife. Calvin and Emma had four children, the first before his marriage to Mary Benney.

Calvin and Emma remained together for at least 54 years (possibly longer, depending on when they actually considered themselves to have married) until her death in 1950.
