Mr. W. A. Calhoun, who served for several years as County Tax Collector, passed away Monday at his home in Rockmart after a short illness, sustaining a stroke of paralysis from which he never recovered. He was one of the best officials the county ever had, and one of Polk's most popular citizens, and his death is deeply regretted. Surviving him are his wife, who was Miss Dora Davitte, and six children-Mesdames Harry Ferguson, Frank Morgan and Earl Bidez, Messrs. Davitte, Willis and Ralph Calhoun. Funeral services were conducted Tuesday afternoon by Dr. J. T. Gibson at the Methodist church in Rockmart, of which he was a member, and were under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity. The deceased was fifty years of age, stricken in the prime of usefulness, and his death is a heavy loss to his community and the county. His sorrowing family have much sympathy in their loss. (Cedartown Standard, Thursday, March 28, 1918)
