Black and white photograph of Calvin Tower. Calvin Tower lived at 'The Farm' before the Rice family owned it. He gave the granite foundation for the church from his property. In the late 18th century 'The Farm' was owned by the Kinne family. See description of the house in Box 01, #34-13n. 'The original of this was Mr. Calvin Tower who looks so like [John Greenleaf] Whittier that he was just what the frontispiece needed - I took it in his old farmhouse which overlooked a superb view of the southern hills on one of the roads to West Worthington about 2 1/2 miles from 'The Farm'. Verse: 'O Time and Change! - with hair as gray/ As was my sire's that winter day,/ How strange it seems, with so much gone. / Of life and love, to still live on!' John Greenleaf Whittier.
