Biographical history
Edward Theodore Calvert (1875-1940) was born in 1875 in Devon, England, immigrating to Canada in 1892. He settled first in Ontario, then Manitoba before taking up ranching near Pine Lake, Alberta in 1893. Edward married Euphemia May Robinson (1877 - 1964) in 1898. They had six children: Arthur (1899), Alex (1903), Godfrey (1905), Dorothy (1911), Barbara (1913) and Ruth (1914). In 1902 the Calvert family moved to Port Guichon in Delta where Mr. Calvert became agent for the Great Northern Railway and then started a business in Ladner. In 1914 E.T. Calvert was appointed the first customs agent at the new Boundary Bay customs office at the corner of 56 Street and 12 Avenue. Calvert patrolled the international boundary and adjacent areas, and at the time of his death in 1940 was the chief customs-excise examiner for Boundary Bay. Mr. Calvert actively participated in musical groups and events in Delta, being the first conductor for the Delta Choral Society. Among his many community services was serving as President of the Delta Board of Trade in 1936.
