Leland Calvert Claimed by Death At Waco Wed.
Leland Calvert, aged 46 years, and a resident of Archer City for 31 years, died at 2 o'clock Wednesday morning at the Veterans' hospital in Waco where he was taken for treatment on April 23. He had been ill for about two weeks prior to that date. Doctors at the Waco hospital failed to discover just what his malady was but held no hopes for his recovery after the first examination.
Leland Arthur Calvert was a native of Kansas, born in Hollyrood on April 11, 1894, and moved with his parents to Archer City as a boy of 15 years. Leland had lived in this city ever since except for about a year when he was associated with his father in the operation of a grain elevator at Frederick, Oklahoma. His father preceded him in death several years. (sic)
Soon after the United States entered the World War, Leland volunteered and was accepted into the U.S. Navy, being honorably discharged at the close of the war. After being discharged from the navy, Calvert returned to his home town, again taking up his profession as a carpenter, which work he followed - save for one year in Oklahoma - until his fatal illness.
Lid, as he was familiarly known, happened to be a personal friend of this writer, and needless to say we will miss him. We will miss his cheery greeting and his jovial fellowship. This friendship between Lid Calvert and us started away back yonder when we were but a small lad. We fished together as boys, later as men, and never once in all the days and nights we spent together was there a disagreement or a harsh word between us. He was of that temperament - always good humored. Lid had some faults - just the same as the rest of us - but it is our earnest belief that he never did anything with any thought or intent of harming his fellowman. Frankly, we say we liked Lid Calvert, and we venture to say that there are very few, if any, people in this city who knew him but who would say the same thing.
Funeral arrangements are incomplete pending the arrival of an aunt from California, but will be conducted at the Methodist church under the auspices of the American Legion, of which he was a member. Dr. J. Sam Barcus, pastor of the Methodist church, will officiate. Burial will be in the Archer City cemetery under the direction of the Owens & Brumley Funeral Home.
He leaves surviving him the mother, Mrs. Bessie Calvert, a son Wilbert, and a daughter Mary Ann, all of Archer City.
The News extends the sincere sympathy of this entire community to the mother and children in the loss of a devoted son and father.
