On 9 July 1904, Calvin Blount, 67, of Wilson married Effie Hinnant, 28, of Lucama, in Wilson. Missionary Baptist minister William Baker performed the ceremony at Emma Barnes’ home in the presence of Moses Dupree, Washington Suggs, and Ben Wooten.

This May-December romance did not last. At May Term 1909, a Wilson County Superior Court judge granted Calvin Blount a divorce from Effie Blount on the grounds of adultery.
