OBITUARY--
Calvin was born August 14, 1924 to Herman and Elvina (Dahl) Brown in Barton Township, Worth County, Iowa. He was baptized into the Lutheran faith on October 5, 1924 by Rev. Waldeland at Deer Creek Lutheran Church. He reaffirmed his faith through confirmation January 2, 1940 by Rev. Langehaugh at Deer Creek Lutheran Church. Cal graduated from Carpenter High School in 1942.
He married Elna Schwartz on December 27, 1945 at Trinity Lutheran Church, Dexter, MN. They were married 63 years. To this union they had two sons, Jerry and Larry. They farmed and lived in the Carpenter and Grafton area their entire married life.
Cal loved fishing, working with his horses, collecting tractors, going to auctions. On many occasions he and Elna would spend Friday nights at the Turp in Austin. They loved to polka and Waltz. They even won an award for their fine stepping. The grandchildren learned and listened to this “umpa” music anytime they rode with grandpa.
