Calvin Husselman is the youngest son of Samuel and Maria (Yager) Husselman, who were early settlers of De Kalb County, coming in 1845, and in 1847 settled on the farm now owned by Calvin. On this farm he was reared, receiving his education in the public school and later at the Auburn High School. When eighteen years of age he began the study of law with his brother, D. Y. Husselman, and was admitted to the bar in December, 1874.
He was married in June, 1876, to Rosa E. Britton, daughter of L. D. and Martha Britton, early settlers of Richland Township, this county.
After his marriage he settled on his farm and has since devoted his attention to agricultural pursuits. His farm contains 122 acres of choice land, all well improved, and his buildings are large and comfortable. His barn, a bark structure, 40x80 feet in size, built in 1851, is one of the old landmarks. He makes a specialty of fruit culture, especially grapes, of which he has a number of varieties.
Mr. and Mrs. Husselman have had three sons, but two are living- Carl B. and Leroy. Frank is deceased.
