John Calvin Jr was blind, and he managed a successful dairy in Gravel Ford, Ore. near Myrtle Creek, Ore. He also managed a large garden and had to cross stream on a narrow plank, always navigating by sound, chickens clucking, laundry hanging on the line. his mother remarried, had three more children, her second husband and their children all died in a fever that swept the area after the war, that same fever left John Calvin Jr blind.
