BIOGRAPHY:
Levi C Calhoun went by the nickname "KIRT" his whole life to the point of signing legal documents and his children thought that was his real name and he was buried with the initial K.
THIS IS THE STORY AS TOLD TO ME BY TWO UNRELATED SOURCES:
"Kirt left home with bad blood between he and his father and his father ran him off the place with a single tree." (a part of a wagon.) Seems Kirt got drunk one night and rode his dads horse so hard he almost killed it, then turned it loose to find it's way home. When Kirt got home the next morning his dad cused him out and, "Ran him off the place with a single tree." Kirt then left home to live with his cousin, George Milton Calhoun and his wife Maggie Wolford Calhoun, in Garland Texas where he met his future wife Hattie C Coombs. Kurt and Hattie, George and Maggie then moved to Kaufman TX where Kirt worked farming his land, had five children, and died at the young age of 42 of pneumonia, leaving Hattie to raise their five living children alone. Kirt was a member of the Woodsman of the World Organization that had as it's benifit, burial provisions and a life insurance policy. He has the largest and most ornate headstone in the Radar-Red Oak cemetery. Hattie only stayed in Texas 2 more years and packed up her kids and moved to the Seattle area in Washington to be near her Coombs family there. Oh and it is also said that Kirt went back later to Adair Kentucky and cussed his dad out, never to return to Kentucky again.
