Newspaper Obituary - (date and newspaper unknown) - Mrs. Adelia Ann Calkins was born at Richmond Springs, February 9, 1818 and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. James Tollerton, in Daysville, January 28, 1910, thus lacking but a few days of completing her 92nd year. Mrs. Calkins was of a peculiarly sweet, gentle, quiet disposition, endearing herself to those with whom she came in close contact, she was a woman of deeds, not words. She retained her faculties in a remarkable degree, and was conscious till the very last of her illness. Besides the daughter, Mrs. Tollerton, she leaves one son, O. H. Filkins, of Bay City, Michigan. The funeral was held from her late home on Sunday, Rev. P. O. Wilcox speaking words of comfort and cheer to the bereaved, from the text, "and I know that my Redeemer livith," which had been one of Mrs. Calkins' favorite passages of scripture during her life time, and was chosen on that account. The interment was made in the Daysville cemetery.
