The Editor's Corner

Thank You to all our Mothers Everywhere
Happy Mother's Day!

Anna Jarvis spent many years campaigning to create a Memorial to honor her Mother and Mothers across America.

Callaway Family Association member, Roy E. Callaway, of Chattanooga, Tennessee, had a close relationship with the origin and significance behind America's observance of Mother's Day.

Anna Jarvis is generally credited with being the founder of Mother's Day. As a result of several years campaigning by this Philadelphia woman who never became a mother herself, President Woodrow Wilson signed on may 9, 1914 a joint resolution of Congress recommending that the second Sunday of every May be observed as Mother's Day.

To Roy Callaway Anna Jarvis was more than just a name found in an encyclopedia or the answer to a tricky trivia question. Roy was Anna's chauffeur in Philadelphia during the late 1920s and early 1930s.

He remembered her as a unique and committed person. "I worked for her and her brother. They were from a very wealthy family in Philadelphia.

She was 'an old maid' and she was very devoted to her mother," Callaway said. "She advocated the idea that everyone should admire his or her mother with praise.

"Some of the peddlers in Philadelphia sold artificial carnations in milk bottles - white for those with deceased mothers and red for those whose mothers were living.

"She resented this, because she thought Mother's Day was real and alive. So she would take her umbrella and knock the milk bottles off the stands."

Callaway, a World War I veteran, said he looks at Mother's Day with special emphasis each year because of his contacts long ago with its founder.

"I respected her very highly. And I've always observed Mother's Day wherever I've been. I always get a rose or carnation.

"I think everybody should respect his mother."

Early Maryland Documents and Maps

I would like to thank Jay Calloway for sending us these links to some very interesting web sites with information about early Maryland and some Callaways who lived there.

Hi Donna,
Are you aware of the "Archives of Maryland Online"? There's some very "olde" information about Peter Callaway I, which, though not flattering, is interesting and was apparently quite common for the times: Court records indicate a case of a bastard child produced by Peter and Elizabeth Johnson, and the proceedings which followed. Also, some strange wanderings of Elizabeth Johnson into the marshes where the Indians lived are noted.

If interested, try searching under these spellings:

Peter Callaway, Peter Calloway and Peter Callowaye (You probably know more, but those are the ones I used.) Also, try the variations on Elizabeth Johnson's name, including "Elyzabeth".

In general, you can use any variation of the Callaway name and come up with information on many other family members.

The index for the site is at:

http://www.aomol.net/html/index.html

You might want to take a look at this, too. It has some very early maps of settlements in Maryland.

You Never Know Where You Will Find a Callaway/Kellaway

I would like to thank Debs Cofer for sending us the following information. One is a new novel about Kellaways in Dorset and the other is a look at a new Callaway Car.

Donna, I have copied two items that I have read about recently. One is the book following the Kellaway family. The other is an auto named Callaway.

Burning Bright by Tracy Chevalier

Burning Bright follows the Kellaway family as they leave behind tragedy in rural Dorset and come to late 18th-century London. As they move in next door to the radical painter/poet William Blake, and take up work for a near-by circus impresario, the youngest family member gets to know a girl his age. Embodying opposite characteristics – Maggie Butterfield is a dark-haired, streetwise extrovert, Jem Kellaway a quiet blond introvert – the children form a strong bond while getting to know their unusual neighbor and his wife.

Set against the backdrop of a city nervous of the revolution gone sour across the Channel in France, Burning Bright explores the states of innocence and experience just as Blake takes on similar themes in his best-known poems, Songs of Innocence and of Experience.

I would like to thank Con Callaway and Nancy Noel for telling us about this amazing genealogical discovery. And of course, it was in "Callaway Country".

Recovered records a 'treasure-trove'
By Valerie Schremp Hahn

ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH

04/03/2007

ST. CHARLES COUNTY — More than 200 years ago, a soldier in Napoleon's army helping to build a fort in Egypt turned over some rocks and discovered a treasure-trove of history known as the Rosetta Stone.

About four years ago, St. Charles County Executive Steve Ehlmann, then a judge, was poking through the county courthouse basement when he discovered a stash of court documents from the early 1800s.

"I'm kind of like that soldier," Ehlmann jokes. "I found it, and I was smart enough to not throw it on the pile of rocks, but I didn't really know exactly what I had found."

Now, after two years of preserving and indexing by the Missouri State Archives, historians are ready to tell the public exactly what they've found.

Ehlmann discovered a stash that spans 40 years of records. The first batch historians analyzed included about 7,000 pages of documents representing about 1,650 court cases and administrative actions from the years 1805 to 1835. The papers include signatures by Daniel Boone, court documents about the Spanish Southwest, and the only publicly owned biography of William Clark, which was written for his 1820 run for governor.

State archivists Bill Glankler and Nik Henle have spent countless hours in a room in the courthouse basement sorting through and indexing the records from that period. Along with documents gathered from the St. Charles County Historical Society and elsewhere, the records total about 2,800 court cases of at least 10,000 pages and fill 25 cubic-foot storage boxes.

They have preserved damaged papers and indexed the information, and the index will eventually be searchable through the state archives and the county historical society. The actual documents should be placed on microfilm later this year.

The archivists will present their findings at the St. Charles County Historical Society's quarterly meeting on April 28. They will also give a presentation at the Missouri Conference on History in downtown St. Louis on April 19. Both events require registration.

Anyone familiar with St. Charles and Missouri history is bound to recognize many names in the documents, said Lynn Morrow, director of the Local Records Preservation Program for the state archives. "The collection is just loaded with Howells and Zumwalts, and Callaways and Van Bibbers," he said.

Many of those families were involved in court cases or actions that give a closer look at American history. In the War of 1812, Capt. James Callaway was killed near the modern-day border of Warren and Montgomery counties. "That kind of information about the War of 1812 is as scarce as hen's teeth," Morrow said.

More court records mention Matthias "Tice" Van Bibber, a favorite hunting companion of Morgan and Nathan Boone, two of Daniel Boone's sons. It was commonly thought Van Bibber was killed on a hunting venture, Morrow said, but the court documents show that he didn't die that way at all. Van Bibber showed up several years after his supposed death working at a saw mill in Texas County owned by Morgan Boone. The court case involved the mill.

"The reach of the court is much farther than most people realize," Morrow said.

For more information about the St. Charles County Historical Society presentation, call the society at 636-946-9828. For more information on the Missouri Conference on History presentation, visit www.umsystem.edu/shs/mch.

Editor's Note - Nancy Noel also tells us about new Archival Accessions at the Library of Virginia. The line of descent of James Callaway of Monroe Co., VA (WV) is as follows:
Peter Callaway
William Callaway
William Callaway, Jr.

A Baptism in the Fen Country, Cambridgeshire

I would like to thank two CFA Members, Faith Lechaton, and Iris Brannon for sending us this article about Rev. J. H. Callaway and his work at the High Street Chapel in the village of Isleham in 1887. Can anyone tell us more about him?

Dear Donna:

The following was copied from an article that was given to me in March by a friend who lives in the village of Isleham. Because I am a member of the CFA, she thought I would be interested. The article was probably an insert in a church bulletin. I think it would be of interest for our newsletter readers.

Thanks for printing article.

"A Baptism in the Fen Country, by the Rev. J. H. Callaway, Minister of High Street Chapel, Isleham, Cambs, June 2nd and 9th, 1887.

A correspondent sends us an account of an open air baptism he recently witnessed in the village of Isleham, in Cambridgeshire.

At a comparatively early hour, he writes, the village was astir, and long ere the sun had reached its meridian groups of villagers were seen wending their way along the dusty road to a point on the river Lark, about a mile distant from the outskirts of the village, where upwards of a thousand spectators had assembled. Pastor Callaway and his hearty help-meet were there, prepared to give a friendly greeting to the converts - 41 in number - on their arrival. The sun was breaking through the clouds, and a western breeze was blowing up the river - sure portents of a fine day. For a few moments nothing was heard but the low murmur of human voices. At length a momentary hush fell on the assembly as the voices of singers and the strains of music fell sweetly on our ears. The unseen minstrels at last came in sight as a line of barges, filled with their joyous freight, rounded the river's bend.

'Here they come!' was on every lip, and very speedily, but silently and reverently, the converts, with their friends, passed over an improvised bridge and away up to a good deacon's house to prepare for the interesting ceremony in which they were to participate. In a very short space of time the candidates emerged from the house, each accompanied by a friend, and returned to the water's edge, which, above and below the natural baptistry, is overhung with shady willows. The scene at this moment was intensely picturesque, and one's mind could not refrain from wandering away to the banks of the Jordan, where a kindred scene was enacted over eighteen centuries ago. Our reverie, however, was soon cut short, as the pastor, with his deacons and the leaders of song, mounted on the stone coping of lock gates. Presently a hymn was given out -

'Come, let us join our cheerful songs
With angels round the throne;
Ten thousand are their tongues,
But all their joys are one,-'

which was heartily sung by the assembled multitude. Anon, praise gave place to prayer, and then, in a clear, sonorous voice, the Pastor gave his address. 'We are a simple-minded people,' he said. 'We believe in the God and in Jesus Christ, whom he hath sent. In the solemn spectacle in which we are all sharers this day we are witnessing for the truth. The meaning of this act may be misinterpreted by some present , but not by the forty-one friends of various ages who shall this day be buried with their Lord in baptism. How is it that they leave their homes, their work, their worldly profit and pleasure to thus publicly testify their loyalty to their Saviour? It is because they desire to follow His example and to do His will.'

The address, which was listened to with great attention, having ended, the minister passed down between the open ranks of the disciples into the river, and, finding secure foothold, began to administer the ordinance. The Fen-men, goodly fellows all, while gallantly waiting their turn, handed down the members of the gentler sex. But who is this that the minister's wife places in the front rank? An old lady of seventy winters, with silvered hair; she is handed on gently, tenderly, lovingly.

How changed are the circumstances in which these solemn events of the day take place? Not long ago jeers and beerhouse revelry would have been the accompaniments of such a scene as this. Now, subdued and joy and reverent demeanor characteristic in homeward bound throng as they disperse in groups. And if you had listened to the conversation you would have learned that this was the second public baptism which Pastor Callaway had conducted in the river during the week, making a total of 61 converts in all!

Surely not a bad week's work for a little Baptist chapel in the fen country. -- From "The Christian World." --The Rev. J. H. Callaway, Died October 1st, 1902, Aged 73 years."

Historic Callaway Cabin Being Preserved

I would like to thank Leigh Callaway for sending us this notice about the project to preserve the Parham Callaway family cabin in Marshfield, Missouri. Perhaps there are some descendants of this family line who might like to make a donation to the preservation fund. Parham Callaway's line of descent is as follows:
Peter Callaway
John Callaway
Edward Callaway
Isaac Callaway
John M. Callaway and 1st wife Elizabeth Smith
Parham Callaway

Hello Donna:

I’ve learned there is a project to preserve and move the Historic Callaway Cabin about five miles to a park in Marshfield, Missouri. Attached is a postcard picture from 1973. The project is being managed by the Marshfield Area Community Foundation - information here: http://www.cfozarks.org/affmarshfield.html

Hewed Log House of Parham and Nancy Kirk Callaway, built in 1852, 5 miles east of
Marshfield, MO, 1/4 mile west of Ebenezer Church on County Highway P, as it appeared in 1973.

The cabin was built by and for Parham and Nancy (Kirk) Callaway in 1852. Parham and Nancy had eleven surviving offspring, one of whom was my great grandfather (James P. Callaway).

Most likely the fund would benefit from more donations.

Regards,
Leigh L. Callaway

Editor's Note - Following is more information on this family line. I would like to thank Elvin Farris for his generosity in sharing this information with us.

Hi Donna,
I looked in my records and found a letter written to me by Phyllis Gregg on Dec. 6, 1998. She said her mother was a Callaway and her grandfather was Edmund Callaway. I have a family group sheet for Edmund Callaway and his two wives. That is where I got the info. More recently I have been in contact with Bill Callaway, of Tucson, Arizona.

Bill is a grandson of my first cousin, Clara Edith Farris Callaway. Edith was 50 years older than me (a long story). Edith married Orange Judd Callaway and they lived in Muskogee, Oklahoma, where their two sons grew up.

You are correct about all the children being children of first wife, Josephine Margaret French.
If you see any errors, or would like to show me where I have some gaps in this particular Callaway family, please let me know.

PS. Phyllis Gregg and her husband, Bob, were listed on the Callaway Family Association, Seventh Annual Meeting list for 1982.

These are my notes for Orange and Edith:

1.) Orange Judd Callaway

From Bill Callaway (grandson) and Elvin Farris, Jr. research

From his birth certificate, Orange was born July 29, 1886 in Salem township, Sedgwick County, Kansas. His father was Edmund Callaway, b. in Mason County, Illinois and his mother was Margaret Josephine French (Callaway), b. in Farmersburg, Indiana.

Orange, or Ora, was from Rochester, Minnesota, according to his Wedding certificate. This may have been his place of employment at the time of his wedding.

Ora and Edith were married June 25, 1913. They had two sons- Edmund Farris Callaway and Hubert J. Callaway.

Ora managed a Woolworth's Department Store in Muskogee, Oklahoma for several years. In later years he worked at a hotel there.

According to Edith - in a letter written in May 1961, " Hubert likes to go on hunting trips each fall with Carl (his brother). 'Dad' loves to hear from folks and sits out in the porch swing every morning till the postman comes but he never writes to any one, not even the children or Carl".

2.) Clara Edith Farris Callaway

Letter from Edith's son- Hubert Callaway, dated October 28, 1997:

Edith Farris's father was kicked by a horse and killed when she was four years old (Note: old obituary stated cause of death as heart trouble and malaria; death certificate stated heart trouble as cause of death).

Edith was closer to the Farris family than the Staubus side. I think because when the horse killed her father at age 4, Charley Farris (her uncle) became the Father she never had. She stayed with Charley and Anna a lot. She knew all about the Farris brothers and told me about when they lived in Muskogee Indian Territory as teenagers (young men), how they all played string instruments: Banjo, guitars, violins etc. and would go out to little villages and play for dances.

Indian territory was quite unsettled then and not very well policed, consequently rowdy, unruly and it became dangerous. So many fights etc., they quit playing the dances and soon moved to Florida.
I think Charley, Frank, and Edith's father stayed here (James Cornelius "Nealy" Farris).

From 1900 Census, Wellington, Sumner County, Kansas

Clara E. Farris, age 8, born in Kansas in July 1891, lived with her mother (Lucy J. Farris), aunt (Martha J. Staubus), and grandfather (Louis Staubus) in Wellington, Kansas.

From 1910 Census, Wellington, Sumner County, Kansas

Clara E. Farris, age 18, born in Kansas, lived with her mother (Lucy J. Farris), aunt, Josephine M. Staubus, and grandfather, Louis Staubus) in Wellington, Kansas.

Notes from Sallie Cooper Farris, grandmother of Edith

Edith's address in 1913:
105 South Third Street
Grand Forks, North Dakota

From 1920 Census, Sedalia, Pettis County, Missouri

Edith Callaway, wife, age 28, born in Kansas, had two children, Farris (age 4) and Hubert (under 1 year). Her husband was O. J. Callaway, age 33. He was manager of a Department Store. Family lived in Sedalia, Pettis County, Missouri.

From 1930 Census, Muskogee, Muskogee County, Oklahoma

Edith C. Callaway, wife, age 38, born in Kansas, had two children, Farris E. (age 14) and Hubert L. (age 10). Her husband was Orie J. Callaway, age 43. He was manager of a retail store. Family lived in Muskogee, Muskogee County, Oklahoma.

Letter from Edith's grand daughter- Barbara Callaway Pollack, dated November 28, 1997

Edith was very active in Presbyterian Church in Muskogee, Oklahoma
address- 2612 Denver. Edith's mother- June Staubus Farris lived in Wellington,
Kansas- at 609 Poplar Street. June died about 1943.

From Elvin Farris Sr.

Edith married Ora Callaway, who managed Woolworth's Department store in Muskogee, Oklahoma for several years. During World War II Edith ran a rooming house. Her two sons were Hubert and E. Farris Callaway.

Letter from Edith, Nov. 18, 1960 (excerpts)

...."I went to Seminole the second week of October to stay with Lee and Kelly while Hubert and Mary Nell went to Dallas to the Oklahoma- Texas football game. Hubert was on the All-state football squad when he was in school, and is quite a fan now. I was there six days and had such a nice time with the children. They have a beautiful home- an all-electric kitchen which is a dream and which I certainly enjoyed using!

Then I went from there to our state church meeting in Tulsa and was there two days. Reached home exhausted but feeling I'd had a wonderful time.

We are expecting the children as usual. I asked Hubert which they would rather have, turkey or ham?. The answer came this morning, either one just so you have oysters! He really likes my scalloped oysters."

Letter from Edith, May 1, 1961 (excerpts)

...."It was a stormy night in Oklahoma last night- quite a good deal of damage at Tulsa as well as several other points. I put Lee and Kelly Lynn on the bus at 6 pm bound for Prague- they had spent several days with us- and Hubert and Mary Nell were en route from Western Hills to Seminole on the turnpike via Prague, where they were to pick up the children. The storms were dipping down all over the area and I felt quite uneasy for awhile, but I didn't hear anything so I assume all went well.

Hubert and Mary Nell had been attending the Optometrist's Convention. We had a wonderful visit with the children and I think they had a good time too."

In 1969 Edith was left one eighth share of her Aunt Anna's estate.

Letter from Edith, January 7, 1971 (excerpts)

Elvin (Jr.) brings back to me so many memories of his father. He was much more like a brother than an uncle to me. That little Charles is just adorable. How I wish I could see you all. My husband, myself, and our two sons spent the year 1926 in Florida at Orlando and Hollywood. On Christmas day we all gathered at the Farris home in St. Cloud. As near as I can remember there were fifteen of us. What a wonderful day we had!

Because of my husband's illness I didn't attempt to send cards this year but I thought of you many times. Thanks again for the picture and hug that adorable little fellow for me.

Here are my notes for the two sons of Orange Judd Callaway and Edith Farris Callaway:

1.) Edmund Farris Callaway:

Edmund Farris Callaway was the older son of Ora and Edith Callaway. He was called Farris, or Cab. Farris attended school in Muskogee, Oklahoma. Farris married Jewel Crawford before World War II. Jewel and Farris had a baby girl, Barbara, before the United States entered the war.

FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR DURING WORLD WAR II

Because of Farris's marital status he served as a pilot/instructor, training others.

HISTORY OF WELLINGTON'S AIRPORT

From Article, "Airport Runway Groundbreaking-" July 1, 2003

In the 1940's Clarkson and Startz had the foresight to start an airport north of Wellington, Kansas. Several rented, single-engine aircraft like the Culver Cadet, J3 Cub and Stinson Jr utilized the grassed runway, and E FARRIS "CAB" CALLOWAY, instructed for a large fee of $6.00 per hour, dual time, or $4.00 solo. What a bargain!

As the airport grew, along came the restaurant, Fixed Based Operators (FBO's) and industry. Adept flight instructors trained new pilots, and when the Test Pilots from Beech and Cessna stopped in for lunch at the restaurant to display the newest planes on the market, excitement abounded. Airplanes like the Fairchild "19" (a primary trainer aircraft in World War II), the Cessna T50/UC78 "Bamboo Bomber" and a leased 1929 Ford Tri-Motor from Dr. Ward Cole became everyday sights at the airport.

After a site selection and environmental impact study in 1974 an Airport Master Plan took shape and was implemented in 1975. With an Airport Steering Committee an application for funding a new runway, taxiway improvements and additional land purchase through the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) was placed. In 1978, the appointment of a five member Airport Authority Board brought many changes to the Wellington Airport, and negotiations were begun to purchase the airport for the City from Southwestern Investments, Inc.

Dr. Elvin E. Brown, operating Well-Air Aviation, Inc., actively promoted the Wellington Airport as Airport Manager, Business Owner and Certified Flight Instructor. Because Well-Air Aviation, Inc. was responsible for airport upkeep, it was possible to offer the traditional trade-off/labor for flight time enabling many young people the opportunity to fly, who could not have afforded it otherwise.

EDUCATIONAL CAREER
From Charles Callaway and Bill Callaway (sons)

Farris was trained as a educator. He received a B.A. degree from Northeastern State College in Tahlequah, Oklahoma on July 27, 1939. Later he received a Masters in Library Science from the University of Arizona and a Masters in History from the University of Arizona.. Edmund served in high school or community colleges in Arizona.

He was a no nonsense teacher. According to his son, Charles, one day a student was day dreaming-gazing out the second story window of the high school. When asked by the teacher- where he would rather be, the student replied "outside". The student was thrown out the open window.

FAMILY

Farris and Jewel had three children: Barbara, Bill and Charles

PS. I wonder if the student got thrown out of a second floor window (where the first floor was
below ground level? Sounds hard to believe and I know it wouldn't happen today, with all
the lawsuit potentail (a good story, anyway).

2) Hubert Lee Callaway:

From Hubert L. Callaway records, Bill Callaway, & Elvin Farris research

Hubert, second son of Ora and Edith Callaway, attended school in Muskogee, Oklahoma. He participated in football and was selected to the 1938 "All State" Oklahoma Football team for that year.

A December 11, 1938 article from The Oklahoma City "Daily Oklahoman" lists its fourteenth annual all star team selections. (Prior years included only the top eleven players) Hubert is listed as a 5' 10" 165 pound End. This was the first year that the top 44 senior players would play in a North/South All star game. Hubert was on the North team.

Hubert graduated from Central High School, in Muskogee on May 11, 1939.

During World War Two, Hubert served as a Sergeant in the US Army- Artillery in the European command, in Germany.

Hubert returned home, attended and graduated from University of Oklahoma. His profession was Optometry. For most of his life he lived and operated a business in Seminole, Oklahoma. Doctor Callaway's office was located at 236 Main Street.

From US Social Security Administration files

Hubert Callaway was born 22 Oct 1919. He died 15 Sep 1999, in Seminole, Oklahoma

OBITUARY

From The Seminole, Oklahoma Producer, Sep. 16, 1999

Funeral Services have been set for longtime Seminole optometrist and education proponent, Dr. Hubert L. Callaway.

Callaway died Wednesday at Seminole Medical Center at the age of 79.

His services are scheduled for 2 p.m. Saturday at Swearingen Funeral Chapel, with burial following at Maple Grove Cemetery.

In addition to conducting an optometry practice in Seminole since 1951, Callaway was a community leader and outspoken supporter of Seminole education for nearly 50 years. He was instrumental in keeping Seminole State College from closing during the early years when it was separated from Seminole High School.

He served for many years on the Seminole school board and as a member of the college's Board of Regents.

"I always have had an interest in schools and good educations," Callaway said in a 1960s newspaper story about his service on the school board. "I have worked with other members to move the Seminole school system forward with the resources made available to us. I fell that we have a good school system."

Callaway was born Oct. 22, 1919, in Selda (Sedalia), Missouri to Orie (Orange) Judd and Edith (Farris) Callaway.

He was a football star at Muskogee High School, named to two All State teams, and won a football scholarship to the University of Oklahoma.

He entered the U.S. Army after two and one-half years at OU, and served with the artillery three years in Europe.

During World War II, he was awarded four battle stars: the Air Offensive of Europe, the Normandy Invasion, Rhineland Service, and Central Europe Action, along with the Distinguished Unit Badge during the Battle of the Bulge.

He married Mary Nell Henry on April 15, 1948 in Muskogee; she survives him, of the home.

He was a member of the Seminole Elks and Kiwanis. He was a life member of the American Optometric Association and was a trustee and elder of Seminole's First Presbyterian Church.

He also served on the boards of Campfire Girls, Boy Scouts, and the Seminole PTA.

Callaway was preceded in death by his parents and one brother, E. Farris Callaway.

Survivors, in addition to his wife, include their son, Lee Callaway, Ponca City: their daughter, Kelly Burgar, Parker, Colorado; and three grandchildren, Amy and Lisa Callaway and Holly Brockett.

Pallbearers include Steve Nelson, Glen Carrell, Bob Davis, Ed Hardin, Cliff Pearson, and Herman Ritchie. Honorary pallbearers will include Ted Phillips, Doyle Johnson, Vernon Staley, Philip Parks, Clarence Clark, Jim Schulze, Travis McMahan, Dr. J.D. Wood, Charles Johnston, Baxter Hammons and Seminole Kiwanis Club.

PUBLISHER'S COMMENTS

From The Seminole, Oklahoma Producer, Sunday, September 19, 1999, page 22
Ted Phillips, Publisher

SEMINOLE LOST a good citizen, Doc Callaway, Wednesday night. We got to know Doc pretty well as a fellow Kiwanian, as a regular at the old Pat's Cafe corner table crowd, and as a fellow Seminole Junior College Regent.

DOC CALLAWAY WAS one of the public officials we came to admire early in our news papering career. Doc served on the Seminole School Board through a couple of very critical periods. On both occasions, Doc and his fellow school board members stood united for what was best for this community and the school system.

IT WAS DOC Callaway, representing the Seminole School Board, along with David Boren and Milt Phillips, who met with Higher Education Chancellor Dunlap and convinced the Chancellor to delay closing Seminole Junior College. Doc pledged to the Chancellor the college's budget would be met by the School Board.

DOC AND THE board insisted using some of the school superintendent's "private slush funds" (the activity fund) for the college budget. The superintendent publicly attacked his board for that action. The superintendent had a large following in the community on the subject.

HOWEVER, THE BOARD'S budget action kept Seminole Junior College from closing its doors. The rest is history.

SECOND, DOC AND the board did their duty by dismissing the long time school superintendent who had outlasted his value to the local school system. It was a very unpopular action with a large segment of the community. Doc and the board members received a lot of criticism because they refused to make public the reasons for the dismissal action.

AT THE TIME Doc believed not making public those charges was in the best interest of the community. Doc and the other board members paid a heavy personal and financial price for being "nice guys" in a tough situation.

AS A RESULT of the controversy, Doc's optometry practice suffered. A number of personal friends condemned him. Doc was not intimidated in his support for the college and its continued survival. It would have been personally and professionally more comfortable to waffle. Doc and the board did not waffle. We all can see how the college has grown and blossomed since that time.

DOC CALLAWAY WAS an important and courageous player in saving the preserving Seminole Junior College. We admire our friend Doc Callaways political courage. Few unpaid public officials demonstrate Doc's devotion to public duty under such adverse personal conditions. Through all the personal attacks on him, he didn't verbally strike back.

ON THE LIGHTER side, Doc Callaway was a tough high school football player. He played football at Muskogee in the days when wearing a leather helmet was not required. As the high school's star running back, Callaway wouldn't wear his helmet. As an OU football player, though, he was required to wear one.

AGAIN, DOC LED the way. Doc Callaway was the first person to extensively decorate his home with Christmas lights in the new Dixon additions. He began the trend that lasted a decade or so of beautifully decorated lighted homes throughout the neighborhood.

WE ARE PROUD to call Doc Callaway a friend and a public official who we genuinely admire. Seminole is a far better place because Doc Callaway lived here. We will miss him.

....Hope above notes let you know a little more about this Callaway family.

Other C/K Lines

John Callaway, born about 1800 in Leicestershire Co., England had 12 children, 3 of whom were sons. It appears from the census records that his son Joseph immigrated to America. His other sons are "Mystery Callaways". Does anyone recognize this family and know what happened to any of the other children?

Editor's Note - See the Jun 2008 CFA newsletter for additional information on this family line.

I would like to thank Sandie Grassino for sending us this snippet from the Jamestown census. Could we have a family member listed here?

Donna, I was just looking at the Jamestown 1624 census. Listed in the text was the following line:

James City Co. VAA K400 KULLAWAY John

Is this any relation to us, do you think?

Query # 419
Subject - Callaways of Callaway Gardens
Submitter - Bill Wolf
email - teamwolf6 at aol.com

I am doing a family tree on the Callaway family who is my great-grandmother. A relative of mine author Crigler, of Mobile, Alabama did a family tree for the Callaways of Callaway Gardens in Georgia back in the 1960s. Trying to get a copy of this family tree. Its origin dates back to Cornwall, England.

Query # 420
Subject - Caroline Callaway or Caroline Byram married to John Austin, Lafayette Co., MO
Submitter - Donna Morgan
email - dfmorgan at vnet.net

The CFA RootsWeb file for this family has a post-um which suggests that it was not Caroline Callaway who married John Austin, but rather Caroline Byram. After examining the 1850 Lafayette Co., MO census it appears this is probably true. The census shows three Byram children living with John and Caroline Austin, and a Waddell child living with them also. Caroline Byram's sister married a Waddell and settled in Lafayette Co., MO. Can anyone verify that it was actually Caroline Byram who married John Austin and not Caroline Callaway?

Query # 421

Submitter - Cecile Hundley

I have been a member of CFA for several years. I need to prove, for a DAR application, the relationship between Rev Joshua Sanford Callaway and his son Joshua Sanford Callaway. This is the Peter line. Can someone help me? Thanks, Cecile
