HOWE — Ergle Calhoun, 88, of Howe, Indiana, died Tuesday, Feb. 16, 2016, at his home with his loving wife of 60 years by his side. Mr. Calhoun was born on Oct. 17, 1927, in Hindman, Kentucky, to Joe and Mallie (Terry) Calhoun. Ergle loved the Lord, his family and all of God's people. Serving the Lord and seeing the lost saved was his true calling. At the beginning of his ministry, he helped in building churches and felt called to evangelize and travel around the area preaching the Gospel. He helped establish multiple churches and break down walls of division. Later in life, he became the pastor of the Brimfield Revival Center where he served for seven and a half years. Mr. Calhoun worked as a welder at Harter Group in Sturgis, Michigan, for several years. He was a member of the New Freedom Baptist Church in LaGrange, Indiana. A United States Army veteran, he served during the Korean War. On May 12, 1955, in Wolcottville, Indiana, he married Rinda Marie Polly. Mrs. Calhoun survives in Howe, Indiana.
