13 December 1880 - 25 December 1975
Life wasn't easy in the 1930s and Viola was a pioneer wife, working beside her husband in everything. Many a preacher and other friends enjoyed Sunday dinner prepared by Viola Calvin from food produced on the farm. She never knew how many people came home from church with Lum and the children, but she always 'set a good table" by frying chicken, making hot biscuits, and bringing vegetables which she had canned up from the cellar.
