By the request of Mr. Calder, a short time before his death, his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lucille Calder sang a solo, "Brighten The Corner Where You Are."

Mrs. Mary Manwaring was accompanist for all numbers.
Interment was in the Vernal Memorial Park under the direction of the Swain Funeral Home. Patriarch Fred G. Bingham dedicated the grave.
