There was a family in the western suburb of Lakewood named Anderson, whose forbears included the first non-Native Americans to inhabit the Western Reserve. The daughter of this family captured Martin’s heart at first sight.

At 22, Calista Anderson was already a woman of great accomplishment and classic beauty. She had completed her formal education at Mt. Holyoke Female Seminary on the Connecticut River in Massachusetts. There she learned the importance of science and the shakiness of religion.She also cultivated a talent for art. She could, with a few strokes, create watercolors of Watteau-like transparency, but simpler. Simplicity was her signature. She kept her work neatly in portfolios whose contents grew daily."
