Calvin Waldo. Calvin Waldo, one of the twelve children of Jedediah Waldo and Polly Porter was born June 3, 1808 in Harrison County, Virginia and died February 18, 1858 in St. Clair County, Missouri. It is said that the father was austere and eccentric and that his sons left home in early manhood and the daughters married as soon as possible to escape the parental roof. In any case, six of the Waldo brothers and many of their kin came west. By 1834 or earlier, Calvin Waldo had settled in the forks of Sac River in this county. The elder brother took the west side of what became Roscoe Township and Calvin the east side in Osceola Township. The river bend by his place became known as Waldo Bend and here the first store in the county, outside of Osceola, was established and doing business
by 1836. A ferry across Sac River to the Waldo place was operated by a negro slave. Uncle Peter Waldo was quite a character in the community. By act of organization of St. Clair County, February 15, 1841, Calvin Waldo, Joseph Montgomery and Thomas F. Wright were appointed commissioners to superintend and conduct an election by the people to decide on a suitable point for the county seat. The elder Waldos were dissatisfied with the choice of Osceola and together with the Applegates and Beals, sold their land and went to Oregon. Calvin Waldo remained and in 1850 was one of the Justices of the county court. From 1852 until his death, he was presiding Judge of the court. He became ill with typhoid/pneumonia and died February 18, 1858. Calvin Waldo was buried beside his first wife and two young children in the little stone walled graveyard called Waldo/Pasley Ranch Cemetery. Judge Waldo was married twice, first in January 1837 in Franklin Co, MO to Frances D. North (1812-1837) and secondly on August 25, 1838 to
Matilda Odeneal in Benton County (1806-1868). She died in Houston, Texas from Yellow Fever. The children of Calvin and Matilda were Jedediah Odeneal Waldo (1839-1896), Mary (1843- ) who married a Mr. Perry and Milton (1845- ) who died in Houston, Texas during the Civil War.
