I would
like to thank CFA Member, Dan Callaway, for sending us this
note and great photos of their recent reunion. The turnout was great and
the activities were fantastic. I'm sure everyone had a good
time.
Hi Donna,
Can you print this bit of our family reunion report in the
newsletter?
The annual "Callaway Cousins" reunion was held June 2, 2007, in Grant's Pass, Oregon. Sixty were in attendance at Riverside Park for lunch. Later that afternoon we took the Hellgate Canyon jet boat ride down the Rogue River and enjoyed a barbecue dinner at the OK Corral Dinner Lodge. Side trips before and after the reunion included Crater Lake, the redwoods of Northern California and the Oregon coastline. Fourteen of the sixty were part of the 51 grandchildren of the late Robert R (Bob) and Stella M Courtney Callaway. Cousin Frances and Ed Edwards hosted with help from area kinfolk. Relatives came from Mississippi, Texas, Arizona, California, Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. After the Civil War, Bob Callaway's ancestors migrated to Texas from Mississippi. Bob's father, Isaac Anderson Callaway, settled in Stephens County, North of Cisco. From there most of Bob and Stella's fifteen children began to scatter out in search of work during the Great Depression. Editor's Note - Also Dan shared with us this following nice tribute to his Father - The Life and Times of Ted Callaway, by son Jerry Ted was born Harrison Able Callaway in Eastland County on November 13th or 14th, 1908, to Robert Renus Callaway, May 12, 1880, -April 27, 1936, and Stella Mae Courtney Callaway, March 14, 1888, -February 2, 1973. Dad said he was born on Friday, the 13th, or so the story goes, but due to Grandma Callaway's superstition, the birth was officially reported as the 14th by his Aunt Mae Courtney, the midwife. He never liked the name "Harrison", so his brothers and sisters nicknamed him "Ted" (probably from President Teddy Roosevelt), which he liked, and it stayed with him all of his life. Even his grave marker reads H.A. (Ted) Callaway. He lived up to his middle name as always being "able" to get things done. Ted was the fifth of fifteen children born to Robert (Bob) and Stella. He grew up a loner, and preferred doing things alone. Sometimes he would walk from the homeplace to Cisco, a distance of 6 or 7 miles to the South, without telling anyone. No one ever missed him as there were so many children running around. It was also his way of getting away from his older brothers, Horace, Henry and Howard, who were always picking on him. Dad only attended school through the 4th or 5th grade. The small country school, named Elam, was full of Callaways, and they were known for their mischievous ways. Ted jumped out of the window and ran off rather than be punished. Two of the Callaway boys set the schoolhouse on fire. Dad always said Howard was in on it, however, it caused the teacher to resign and exclaimed, "I'll never teach another Callaway". The school never existed again. One story that Dad told was that when company came for Sunday lunch, his Dad would seat his family around the table first, and if there was anything left, the company could have it. Ted married Natie Belle Hollingshead on August 2, 1929. Belle, as she was known, was born December 8, 1906 and passed away July 6, 1983. Both Ted and Belle are buried in Greenleaf Cemetery in Brownwood, Texas. From the time of their marriage until 1935, Ted worked on the Bell Hurst Chicken Ranch in Eastland. One story that he told was that while feeding the thousands of laying hens in the many chicken houses, he found a human finger in the feed. Being the prankster that he was, he bandaged his hand with an old rag, put catsup on it and went to see Belle. When she saw it, he pulled the finger out and she screamed and almost fainted. Times were tough during those years. He bought four new tires for $12 for his old model A, on credit from Jim Horton Tire Company in Eastland. One day he told Jim that he couldn't pay for the tires and he would just have to take them off the car parked in front. But, he said that if he could trust him, he was going to find a better paying job and would send the money. Jim agreed. Ted, Belle and Jerry left Eastland in 1935. Ted eventually paid for the tires a dollar at a time. Ted worked as a foreman on his Uncle Will Courtney's ranch near Pecos, Texas. The days were long and hot, and the cattle business was very hard labor. When anyone went to town, it was 36 miles and 36 gates to open and close each way. Uncle Will had chickens and a large red rooster that would look for Jerry just to flog him. Oh, how I hated that rooster. In later years I asked Dad why they didn't stay on the ranch. He and mother decided it was not good to raise a family that far from school and church. "Thanks Dad, that was a wise decision". In 1936, Ted and family returned to Eastland to again work on the Bell Hurst. Their second child, Ruth Alene, was born in 1937. She lived one year and is buried in the Callaway family plot in Cisco. Times were tough on the chicken ranch and now the hen house dust was making Ted probably have dust pneumonia. Ted heard from brother, Harvie Isaiah (Pete) and sister Lorene in Arizona that working in the gold mine at Octave was pretty good. So, in 1939, Ted, Belle and Jerry headed to Arizona to join them and his sister Naomi and her husband, John Dennis. There was no housing in Octave, so Ted managed to get a tent about 8 or 10 feet square. The family of three lived a rough life in the tent. Pete, wife Pearl, and their children were rich. They lived in a tent also, but it had a concrete floor. Our tent had a dirt floor. I don't remember where Ted's sister Lorene and her husband, E.B. Dennis lived. Pete and E.B. worked in the gold mine but Ted could not get on. There were two shifts of workers every day going into the mine and Ted was at the mine entrance at the start of each shift hoping to get on. Finally after six months, he was hired to work in the mill, sharpening tools. Life in the tent was terrible but we didn't know it. We had no electricity, and only a wood-burning stove for heat and cooking. The great outdoors was our bathroom. We had one washtub that was used for washing clothes and for a bath once each week. Food consisted of about everything that walked, ran, or crawled during that first six months. Jackrabbits and quail were scarce because everyone trapped them. Elmer and Ida Mae Riggins owned a gun and some bullets, so he shot a deer and shared the venison with us and others. That was a real treat. During the months without work, Ted supported his family by cutting hair for 10 cents a head. He set up a chair outside and used hand clippers. Ted also made furniture out of porous stalks of some kind of cactus. A few months after Ted went to work for the mine, we moved into an old tin barn, where we lived until we left Arizona. Octave was a gold mining town with no stores. However, it did have two school buildings, each having one room. One housed grades 1-8 and was taught by Mrs. Abbleby. Her husband taught the four high school grades in the other building. The outhouse was down the hill behind the school. The year was 1940, and Ted, Belle and Jerry left Arizona and moved to Clyde, Texas, where they bought the old Hollingshead place where mother was born. Ted farmed the 60 acres and worked in a frozen food plant in Abilene. He had a constant bad cold from going in and out of the freezer. He quit the locker plant and started a plumbing business in Clyde. In 1943, another son, Morris Dan, was born. During the next 25 years, Ted wore many hats besides having the plumbing shop. He drove a bus route and became the maintenance supervisor for Clyde ISD. He was a boy scout leader for many years, and became an Eagle Scout himself. His two sons and all three grandsons also became Eagle Scouts. He was involved in the Lions Club and both Masonic and Eastern Star fraternal organizations. Mother and Dad were both in regular attendance at First Baptist Church. I remember one afternoon I was hoeing peanuts in the field. I looked up and saw Dad coming. He took out his pocket knife and cut a pecan switch. I knew what that meant. He really worked me over with it, and I deserved it, too. But what I did is nobody's business. When Dad retired about 1969, he and mother sold the old home place in Clyde and moved to Brownwood Lake, where he spent nearly every day fishing and always kept a garden. They enjoyed the good life until early 1983, when mother had to go to a nursing home and soon passed away. Dad was a very lonesome man until he met Edith Kimbrell, a widow he met while attending Rocky Creek Baptist Church. After they married, he sold his lake place and moved in with her on the town side of the lake. They enjoyed nearly 15 good years together until she passed away. In 2002, Ted went to the Bangs Nursing Home where he lived and continued his gardening hobby around the backyard patio. Ted lived to be 95 years old and died on December 17th, 2003.

Take Me Out To The Ballgame It's summer in the US and time for baseball. I would like to thank Karen Franks for sending us these great family photos and articles all about baseball in their family. What a great shot of Doug in action, and look at the size of that trophy! Congratulations Doug and Steve!
Doug has played little league baseball since age 4 Tee Ball up to Majors Division. Doug is a left handed pitcher who also plays first base and the outfield.
The Cooperstown Dreams Park Youth Baseball Tournament is considered one of the premier youth 12 year old tournaments in America. Each year, the participants of the Cooperstown Dreams Park National Invitational Tournament, in honor of their accomplishments, regardless of outcome, are inducted into the American Youth Baseball Hall of Fame. Much like the National Baseball Hall of Fame for major league baseball players, each participant, upon induction, receives the coveted American Youth Baseball Hall of Fame ring and officially becomes one of the Cooperstown Dreams Park Little Majors.
Doug's younger brother Stephen, 9, was selected to play in his age bracket's All-Star regional tournament. The West Side 9U tournament ended with a classic game between East Side American and West Side with West Side winning 2-1. The West Siders went undefeated in the tournament. The West Siders went into the top of the 6th down 1-0. With two out and runners at first and second (the runners advanced on a pass ball). Then another pass ball and we scored from third and second. Stephen Franks showed great range in Right Field.
They are grandsons of Ben Callaway, 80, CFA charter member and long-time Callaway Journal editor.

like to thank Gail French for sending us this bio of her great
uncle, Oscar Callaway, and welcome Gail to the newsletter
family. Oscar Callaway's line of descent is as follows:
Oscar Callaway was my great uncle. He went to U.T. Law
School and married Stella Couch. He had the largest
Hereford ranch in Texas. He was elected to Congress, and
he and Stella lived there for four years. He opposed
Wilson and the Federal Reserve, of which Wilson said on
his death bed, "I have ruined my government," and
then Wilson died. Callaway made attacks on the
untouchables, the munitions barons, on the floor of
Congress with such force that his words were expunged
from the records. He was absolutely fearless, and was a
deep reader. At his ranch house in Comanche, he
had about 10 tall law bookcases full of classics, which
he read every evening. My sister in Houston has the name
Stella Callaway Smith Hancock. My name is Gail Addison
Smith French. My mother was a favorite niece, Stella
Margaret Prude Smith, and she spent every summer at the
ranch, where John Lomax once came and stayed for six
weeks. Stella and Oscar never had children, and his
brother Gib Callaway, a lawyer and joint owner of the
ranch, inherited it. Oscar Callaway's best friend in
Congress was Charles Lindbergh, Sr., and both of them
opposed the establishment, Federal Reserve and entry
into WWI (on the grounds that it was hype from the
munitions makers).

gfrench057 at aol.comEditor's Note - Oscar Callaway is mentioned in the 2003 CFA Journal; there is a photo of Oscar and Stella's gravestones in the CFA Photo Gallery; and he is also mentioned in the May 2003 and September 2003 newsletters. Dr. Thomas W. Cooper married Olivia Caloway in 1876. She was the daughter of Samuel and Rebecca Boston Caloway of Jefferson Co., KY. DR. THOMAS W. COOPER, McLean County, was born January 1, 1845, in Meade County, Ky., and is a son of Leonard and Nancy (Bryan) Cooper, who were born respectively in Marion and Nelson Counties. Leonard Cooper was a son of Philip Cooper, who was a farmer by occupation; the mother of our subject was a daughter of Ignatius Bryan, of Irish descent. Dr. Cooper was reared on a farm, and resided with his parents until 1863, when he commenced farming for himself. At the age of twenty-five he commenced selling drugs, and the study of medicine. In 1874 he entered the University of Louisville, and graduated in June, 1875, from the Kentucky School of Medicine; located at Beach Grove, where he has been engaged in the practice of medicine ever since with good success.

Editor's
Note - Census records show that Olivia Callaway's line of
descent is as follows: Other C/K Lines In the July 2007 newsletter information on a Kellaway family from Devon England was published. This month I would like to thank Dr. Jay Kellaway for graciously sharing information and pictures on this family line. He descends from Joseph May Kellaway, a son and the only child of 18 children, who immigrated to the United States. I would also like to thank David and Pat Scott, Bill Piper and Chris Nolan for adding additional information about this family line. It has been added to the CFA family lines on RootsWeb.
Joseph May Kellaway married Mary Rebecca Hyland. She had three brothers. When her parents, James and Philadelphia (Friend) Hyland came to Boston from England, the Civil War had just begun. They were so concerned about their boys being drafted that they returned to England until the war was over.
Dr. Jay Kellaway describes
his great uncle, Herbert John Kellaway:
Herbert J. Kellaway is a
gentle man but one thing makes him awfully mad. He will never
forgive you if he catches you destroying the beauties of nature
- whether you do it by building a million dollar factory,
chopping down a lovely tree or leaving your orange skins and
oiled paper behind you after a picnic. The following is Herbert J. Kellaway's obituary. Herbert J. Kellaway, Newton Architect, 79, Dies at Maine Hospital

Response to Query # 431 (7/2007
newsletter)
I have checked on Larkin
M. Callaway in our records. I find him in the 1930 Census
in Ft. Worth, Tarrant Co. Tx. He is listed as 27 years
old and married to Mary Sears Herring in 1929. She is
listed as 16 years old. (b. 7/19/1915 in McLennan Co. Tx) He
is shown as being born in Tx. and both his parents in
Oklahoma. I checked the 1910 and 1920 census and do not
find him listed. I did find Francis Callaway living in
1930 in Tarrant Co. Tx. and again in 1920 but Larkin is not
listed as a possible son.
I checked the WWII and
Korean Conflict Records for veterans interred overseas. It
listed exactly the same information as you furnished us. It
is possible to get his Service Record but it takes a long
time. Form DD214 can be sent to the National Archives for a
copy of his service record. I am told it takes at least 26
weeks. Service records rarely contain genealogical
information. It would show place of induction.
The name of Larkin has
been handed down for many generations coming through
intermarriages with the Cleveland family in Va. N.C. and
Georgia. We will try and sort him out. By reading the
information contained in our Callaway Bulletins you will get
an idea of the Callaway background in the U.S.
I am familiar with the
practice of people close to the U.S. Cems. in Europe
adopting graves.
I have visited some
of the cemeteries in France and Luxumbourg. This is
wonderful.
Interesting -- when I
began to check the roster of those buried in Margraten I
found two additional Callaway men.
Van D. Callaway S/Sgt
was also from Tx. and was in the 413th Bomber Squadron ,
96th Bomber Group. His date of death is shown as 2l Nov.
1944.
Paul J. Callaway, 2nd
Lt. 36th Tank Batt. 3rd Armored Div. is buried 9 March 1945.
Since these cemeteries
were started after the close of the war many of these men
were moved and re-interred, so I am wondering about the date
of death of Larkin. (Mar. 1946). He was in the Merchant
Marine and shown as a Seaman. Many of these men worked from
the Ports of Galveston and Houston.

Query #
433 Have you ever encountered any info regarding my great grandfather, James Dudley Callaway, living at least part of his life with his family in Amarillo, Tx? I had emailed my older brother Steve to find out some more info. My grandmother was Eva Callaway, married to Thomas B. Gallaher. I am pretty sure about my great grandfather’s middle name being Dudley because I have a copy of the wedding announcement in the newspaper when Eva and Thomas were married, and it lists her parents as Mr. and Mrs. James Dudley Callaway—I also have a family genealogy that refers to him that way. I have a formal photo of Eva and her parents and one brother. Also, Eva and Tom had four children (and I have been told that Eva had two stillborn children as well). I wonder if it will be possible to find any of the descendants of Eva’s two brothers—will your website have that kind of info? I cannot thank you enough for your help—this is so fascinating! I will pass it along to my brother and sister!Jill Runcie

Query # 434 My great grandfather was Stephen Callaway. Benton Stewart Callaway was my grandfather. His middle name was from his mother's maiden name, Stewart. I can only find information back to when Stephen Callaway moved his family from Alabama to Mount Calm, Texas for the cotton industry. I would appreciate any information you may have or if you can point me in a direction to find out where we came from in Europe. Thanks! Editor's Note - Please welcome Timothy as a new CFA member! I wrote back to Timothy and told him that CFA recognizes his Callaway family. His line of descent is as follows:Peter Callaway John Callaway Edward Callaway John Callaway Job Callaway William Benjamin Callaway George Washington Callaway Stephen Jackson Callaway Benton Stewart Callaway
Query # 435 From the
Reynolds-Miller-Wood Bibles as published in the Virginia
Genealogical Society Quarterly Volume 18 No. 1 [January
1980] pp.18-20 (on ancestry.com): Editor's Note - Virginia marriage records show that Corbin married Lucy in Franklin Co., VA. Corbin is listed on the 1850 Botetourt Co., VA census with no wife listed. He is listed on the 1860 Botetourt Co., VA with wife Mary J. Apparently Lucy died between 1844 and 1850. Could Lucy be the daughter of James Callaway, Jr. and wife Elizabeth Greer of Franklin Co., VA (from the Joseph Callaway line)? She is a "Mystery Callaway".
Query # 436 I am desperate to find out more on our home. I know it was built in 1899, a year after Geo F. Callaway (of the brothers who built the Delaware Hotel in Leadville, Co) built the main house. Ours is the "guest house". It is located in Nanticoke Hundred, off Penn Ave, in Seaford, DE. (In back of the main home) Looks the same as it did in a picture from about 1935, but I wonder if anyone has a picture from earlier, and if they remember anything about details on the INSIDE of the house. How about their entertaining? Why did they need a guest house? Thanks for your help!! Editor's Note - See additional information about this family and the hotel on the CFA Blog and the May 2004 CFA newsletter.
