After completing his tenure as the first male teacher at Nelsonville-York Elementary School, Calvin Devol would oftentimes ask former students when bumping into them in public if they could remember their multiplication tables.
His daughter, Dr. Marjorie Devol, recollected many fond memories of her dad, a three-war veteran who served as a hospital corpsman in the U.S. Navy. She was inspired by him and her mother, who was a nurse, to enter into the medical field. She currently works at the Nelsonville Health Center.
During his life, Calvin was a man of many things: a soldier, a photographer, an educator, a father, a twin and friend. Calvin Devol sadly passed away from COVID-19 in January of this year at the age of 91 in his Carbon Hill home.
