The Late James C. Calhoun, Esq--Some time ago we noticed the death of the above named gentleman. From a Memphis exchange we clip the following notice of his funeral in that city, as well as the report of a meeting at the Memphis Bar, in respect to his memory.
Funeral Notice-Calhoun-The friends and acquaintances of the late James C. Calhoun are invited to attend his funeral, at Elmwood Cemetery, on this, Friday, the 25th instant at 4 p.m. Services by the Rev. Dr. White. Carriages provided at Holst's.
James C. Calhoun, of the law firm of Ayres, Calhoun & Randolph, of this city, died at Bonham, Texas, December 29 1866, in the 35th year of his age. He was the son of John A. Calhoun, of Abbeville, South Carolina, and grand-nephew of the Hon. John C. Calhoun. Some eight years ago he married the daughter of our former townsman, I.B. Kirtland.
Unwilling to be idle when the services of all were needed he was, at his own request, assigned to duty at the C.S. Arsenal, Charleston, S.C., where he was a vigilant and faithful officer until about the period of its evacuation. After the surrender he came to Memphis and entered to the bar.
Courteous, amiable and upright as a man and attorney, he won the confidence and esteem of all who came in contact with him. he left home in November for his health. Death was waiting for him, in a land far distant from "wife, children and friends."
Those knowing him best, mourn him most, and will follow his remains to their last home at Elmwood Cemetery, at 4 o'clock to-day. A Friend.
