• Notes

  Winn Parish Enterprise, March 21, 1935 History of Calvin Community and School Is Recounted ..."Many settlers were attracted to the place because of the railroad and sawmill that had been put in. By 1902 the population had grown so that it was decided a school was needed. The work on the building was begun. While working on the school building a Baptist minister came to Calvin and held a revival under the old mill stand. People realized that they needed a church in the community. They decided there were not enough children to have school so they went into the building and organized a Baptist Church. The next year, however, they organized the first school with Miss Gordie Puckett teacher."... Relics of The Past, Treasured Because of Age, Are On Display At The Parish Fair, Oct 10, 1930 Mrs. A. T. Stinson shows a beaded purse which has been in the Puckett family for ninety years. She also exhibits a sad-iron which has been in the family for a hundred years.
