E. A. CALAMI [sic]
E. A. CALAMI [sic], father of Mrs. G. A. ACHENBACH, passed away at his home in Steamboat Springs Sunday, April 25. He was preparing to take a car ride with Mr. and Mrs. ACHENBACH and was taken ill suddenly while in the backyard. He was assisted to the house and died within a few minutes from a heart attack.
Funeral services were conducted Wednesday afternoon at the residence of A. W. Heyer, who was funeral director. Rev. B. H. Christner was in charge of the service. He selected part of the 119th Psalm as the scripture reading and spoke from Exodus, 4th Chapter, because of the appropriateness to Mr. CALAMI [sic], who was a great Bible student.
The pallbearers were Clay MONSON, R. L. WILSON, Claude LUEKENS, H. P. HEID, John FRYE and Clay SHAW. Mrs. Henry Zehner played the piano during the ceremony and accompanied the quartet composed of Mrs. Sam Stevens, Mrs. Lawrence Carr, Roy Hartzler and Clay Shaw. They sang "More Love to Thee," and "Lead Kindly Light." Interment was in the Steamboat Springs cemetery.
Mr. CALAMI [sic] is survived by his wife, one daughter, Mrs. G. A. ACHENBACH of Steamboat Springs, and three sons, Walter of Omaha, Nebraska, Carl of Comanche, Oklahoma, and Will of Devine, Texas; four sisters, Emma MICHAELS, Lena McCLOUD, Laura KEELING and Ida THORTON, and six brothers, Charles, John, Frank, Jess, Lewis and Bob. All of the sisters and brothers reside in Texas. There are 12 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Four brothers had preceded him in death.
E. A. CALAMI [sic] was born at Nocomas, Illinois, January 28, 1861. In this community he grew to manhood and moved with his father's family to Texas in 1882. On March 2, 1883, he was united in marriage with Sally ANDERSON, at Fairfield, Texas. They resided in Texas until 1900, when they moved to Oklahoma. Five years ago Mr. and Mrs. CALAMI [sic] moved to Colorado.
He had followed the occupation of farming and ranching during his life time. He was a great lover of the Bible. This interest in the Bible undoubtedly came to him thru the influence of his training as a youth. His father, a preacher in the Church of Christ, instituted the family altar. Two of the sons also became ministers, and implanted in the hearts of their children a love of the Bible.
Two of Mr. CALAMI's [sic] brothers, Walter of Omaha and Carl of Oklahoma, came to Steamboat Springs to attend the funeral services. They left for their homes Thursday.
The Eveready cafe, which is operated by Mr. and Mrs. ACHENBACH, was closed from Monday morning until Thursday morning.
