The funeral was held 25 February 1896 in the Baptist church, Rev. D.D. Day officiating. She was buried in Union Cenetery. Their son Chester, born in January 1896, survived. His obituary states:-- "John Kalor, the vell knoum Danville farmer, passed away about five Wednesday afternoon as the result of injuries received Monday afternoon when he fell from a tractor inthe path of a quack digger and was cruelly hurt. He was able to walk from the field to his home some 100 rods away following the accident, and it was hoped he might be able to overcome his injuries. But a fractured rib had torn the lung and a turn for the worse Wednesday morning brought fatal results. “Me. Kalor, who had been a very active man in spite of his advanced age, had been out in the field operating his tractor which was pulling a quack digger. He failed to make the proper shift of gears which made the tractor leap forvard unexpectedly and he was thrown from the seat. He attempted to regain his position on the machine but was caught by the digger and pulled under the big shovel, He was carried along for several feet before he rolled to one side. "He managed to walk to his home and Dr. J.C, Vegina was summoned. He found that Me. Kalor had been badly injured, His nose was broken, a deep gesh was cut in his forehead, several ribs were fractured and one of his arms was broken, in fact almost severed. Everything possible was done for his relief and his sister, Mrs. T. Somers of the village, fnmediately went to his assistance to give hin care. "The tragic death of Mr. Kalor takes from the community one of its earlier settlers. Coming to Minnesota as a boy of 10, he has spent nearly 74 years in this section of the country. He passed away on the homestead which had ‘deen his father's before him. " John Augustus Kalor was born near Colurbus, Wise., 27 December 1849. He was the som of Mr. and re. Jonathan Kelor vho came with their family to Minnesota in 1859. They came overland by ox team and after a few months in this section, settled on the honestead in Danville Twp. " He was married 40 years ago (1894) to Mabel Ethel Morgan, who passed avay two years later, leaving one son, Chester, who survives his father. One sister survives, Mrs. T. Sommers of Mapleton and a brother, Ed, who lived with John on the farm. They are the sole survivors of eleven children born to this pioneer fanily. " Mr. Kalor was an excellant farmer and also a good mechanic and carpenter. For 22 years he lived in the village, -but in 191? moved back to the far, He delighted in machinery and was one of the first to have an automobile and even at his advanced age, drove well 2 high-powered car.20. 25. 26. it, vids.
