From Story County Watchman February 28, 1902

One of the oldest settlers of Story county was called to his rest early Tuesday morning, in the person of Calvin Giddings, and his funeral was held on Wednesday under the direction of the Masonic Lodge of this city of which he was one of the honored members. The last rites were held at 2 p. m., Wednesday and was well attended and appropriate services were given. He came here in the earlier days when it was a privation and grew up with our people and was one among the best. He leaves a family to mourn his loss and look forward to a future meeting in that celestial lodge on high where partings are no more.
