Hotel Contact Information:

Important Information About Hotel Room Availability Hotel rates are $85.00 a night with the Callaway Group special rate. The hotel has agreed to hold rooms in a block for us until the third of this month (9/3/10). On that date we lose half of the block of rooms. Then on the 13th (9/13/10) we will lose all the rooms we have blocked. Anyone not having reservations by then will just have to take what is available if any. They can still get the special rate by saying they are with the Callaway Group but only if the hotel has a room available. Plan now for a great weekend. If you like, come early and/or stay later for the same rates, just ask when making reservations. Be sure to say you are with the Callaway group. I would encourage those who can, to drive to Branson and enjoy the views of the Ozarks. Public transportation is limited but available. The scenery is gorgeous this time of year. For those flying in, check on flights to the new Branson airport. 2007 marked the 100th anniversary of the publication of one of the first million-copy selling books in the U.S., The Shepherd of the Hills. Based on actual events, the book sparked the beginning of tourism in Branson, Missouri and the Ozark Mountains. We will be attending the outdoor reenactment on Friday evening.
Today the great Titanic lives on. A towering symbol of hope and courage recreated in all its glorious splendor in Branson. Here guests will relive the last hours of that fateful voyage. Make haunting emotional connections to passengers and crew through their words and stories. And feel their spirit presence in the galleries where over 400 personal and private artifacts are on display. Thursday evening we start things off with a Buffet Dinner, special guest and a tour of the Titanic.
Come prepared to enjoy a fun filled tour on Friday with three meals, three shows and tour of Hard Work U. Saturday following the general session, you don't want to miss the noon lunch and great entertainment by a local Ozark Group. You might select the show or venue of choice for Saturday evening, just don't forget to come to the Sunday morning devotional before you head home or continue your stay.
Enjoy a great Ozark breakfast and see a Branson exclusive. Take a powerful journey through the rich history and heritage of the region with the GIANT-screen IMAX® adventure, “Ozarks Legacy & Legend.” as we start our Friday tour. Then on to the College of the Ozarks campus, called Hard Work U for a reason. All full-time students work rather than pay for their tuition. History comes alive at The Keeter Center, a beautiful facility with remarkable architecture and interiors recalling memories of old Dobyns Hall. Its rustic lodge design will take you back to 1906.
The Keeter Center is home to some of the Ozarks’ finest dining. I encourage all of you to partake of a sumptuous Sunday brunch if possible. It offers a perfect blend of personal attention and warm, rustic elegance. Tour will lunch there Friday. Williams Memorial Chapel is an outstanding example of neo-Gothic architecture. The Ralph Foster Museum, dedicated to the history of the Ozarks, is one of the most interesting I've seen. College of the Ozarks produces its famous fruitcakes on campus, and today bake more than 40,000 a year. Edwards Mill is powered by a twelve-foot water wheel turned by runoff water from nearby Lake Honor. The C of O Greenhouses, east of Edwards Mill, is home to the Clint McDade orchid collection.
That afternoon we step out of the present, away from modern hassles and headaches, and into the "Old West" with the Sons of the Pioneers.
Designated “National Treasures” by the Smithsonian Institution, the legendary Sons of the Pioneers are back at The Shepherd of the Hills Pavilion Theatre. Their harmonies and signature hits like Cool Water and Tumbling Tumbleweed are just a few reasons for their many awards and recognition: longest continuous performing group of all time; more than 3,000 compositions to their credit; induction into the Western Music Association, National Cowboy and Singing Cowboy Halls of Fame; their music inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame; and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. This cowboy show includes a delicious chuck wagon supper of chicken, beef, corn on the cob, and other authentic "Old West" dishes which you will partake of Friday, if you choose the full tour. Then mosey on over to the theater for the show of a lifetime with old cowboy songs and some of your other favorites. Feel this is a little much? Skip this and the bus will return to the hotel for you in time for the outdoor drama that evening, the Shepherd of the Hills, taken from the novel that started it all. Set in the very hills where the story took place down the "holler" from Old Matt's cabin. As the story begins and the breeze blows through the leaves, listen closely and maybe you can hear the "haint" whose spirit drives the story until the mystery renders it's secrets before your very eyes! ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FUN ???????
Editor’s note - I encourage each of
you to send in articles for the e-Newsletter. It doesn’t have to
be lengthy. It could be some "Callaway/Kellaway" news, a family story, a
family photo, a favorite family recipe, results from your family
line research, or any item you think would be of interest to our
readers. Send them to me, and I will take care of adding them.

LOGANSPORT — Jerry
and Barbara Dingeldein celebrated their golden wedding
anniversary on Thursday, Aug. 5, 2010. ~ published in the Pharos-Tribune, Logansport, IN What's My Line?
I would like
to thank Patricia Elsass for sharing this picture with us. Don't
suppose the people in the picture look familiar to anyone, do
they? We have a
"Mystery
Callaway"
family picture on our hands. Patricia's Callaway ancestry is as
follows:
Hi Donna,
Elijah Washington Callaway & Elizabeth (Pack) Callaway were my
great great great grandparents. Editor's Note - The photo was identified in the Oct 2010 Newsletter. The older woman on the left is Elizabeth Ann Smith who married George Washington Callaway from the Peter Callaway line. You can also see the photo at Find a Grave. One Cemetery - Two Family Plots In April of 2000, CFA Member William C. Callaway of Lawrenceville, Ga., researching markers in the Oakwood Cemetery, Jacksboro, Texas, found the following two Callaway plots. One family descends from the Peter Callaway line and the other from the Joseph Callaway line. In the first plot:
Father: Thomas Anderson
Callaway, 1845-1919
Editor's
Note - This family descends from the Peter Callaway line as
follows: In the second plot:
Father: Charles T. Callaway,
12/11/1855-10/5/1929
Editor's
Note - This family descends from the Joseph Callaway line as
follows: ~ The above information was first published in the 2001 CFA Journal, pg. 40.
U. S. Joseph Callaway Line
The following excerpt is
from: An
Abbreviated History of Pittsylvania County, Virginia This Charles Calloway's line
of descent is as follows: It is not known when the stage route between Danville and Lynchburg, Virginia was established. Mr. Charles Calloway was proprietor of the Bell Tavern at the Courthouse when he placed a notice in a Danville newspaper (The Recorder) of 1836, stating: "All persons wishing to take a stage north or south are informed that the stage office is kept at the Bell Tavern, where every attention will be given to passengers." Four horses driven at a long gallop were used to the stage, and relay stables were placed at Chatham and Chalk Level where the horses were changed. The approach of the stage was heralded by blowing a horn, and its passing each day was an event of interest. U. S. Peter Callaway Line
I would like to thank Shirley Whipple
for sending us some additional information about J. D.
Callaway/Calloway. Further information is published in the
December 2005 newsletter. He
descends from the following line: Hi Donna,
Some time ago I wrote you about J.D. Calloway.
Actually the map I was reading said J.O. but is
clearly a typo. Or just difficult to read. Anyway,
according to various Callaway information from the
family, it belonged to their "Uncle Jim." I took it
for granted that he was the homesteader. A second
look at the BLM GLO records only showed J.D. owning
property at Walla Walla county, Washington. Yet an
early Metzger map shows J.D. Or J.O Calloway owning
the a good deal of the southwest and southeast
portions of section 20, township 23 north in range
43. In English that means he owned land about 4
miles north of Spangle, Washington in Spokane
county. He bought the land from James W. Curl, who
might also have some connection to the Calloways. I
base that on another family story which I already
shared with you.
Not sure this story will be of interest to anyone,
but J.D. has been a mystery man. Apparently he was
running stock up to the mines. This ranch would be a
good place to graze the animals. Lots of swampy area
on solid basalt. Tall grass for the animals to feed
off.
Oh, and here is something interesting....where J.D.
lived at Walla Walla? There is a William W. Calloway
on adjoining property. It also appears to be a son
or some relation and J.D. got his land in 1888 and
William got his in 1897.
Shirley Whipple
Other C/K Lines I
would like to thank Canadian CFA Member, Don Kellaway for
sending us this article about the rededication of a war
memorial. Lorraine Kelloway, a family member of one of the
honored soldiers was present at the ceremony.
Donna:
Interesting article from
a local paper re a war memorial and a Lorraine Kelloway is
mentioned. It is likely this branch of Kelloways is
originally from Newfoundland. Thought that you might enjoy
reading it.
Cheers, Don

Trent River - George Edmund Longmuir was killed in action on the battlefields of France on Mary 12, 1918. He was only 17. Ninety-two years after his death, Longmuir's name has been added to the newly restored Trent River War Memorial, joining that of Richard Oliver Cowan, the other Trent River soldier who lost his life in the First World War. Representatives of Royal Canadian Legion branches in Campbellford and Havelock joined representatives from Trent Hills, the federal government, 8 Wing Air Base Trenton, the North Seymour Ratepayers Association and the Trent River Rod and Gun Club for a Sunday ceremony rededicating the gleaming monument to the two soldiers and to "all who served their country from this community." Four members of Longmuir's family - Betty Ames, Frida Ross, Ina Kerr and Lorraine Kelloway - were at the rededication ceremony to see his long overdue recognition. "It makes me very proud," said Kelloway, who laid a wreath on behalf of the family. Loungmuir's letters from the western front were passed down to Kelloway, who takes them out and re-reads them every Remembrance Day. "The letter talk about things he was doing while he was there," said Kelloway, who lives in Havelock. "when I read them it just makes Remembrance Day more meaningful." The 30-foot high monument was constructed in 1923 next to the County Road 30 Bridge in Trent River. At its top sits a carrier pigeon, representing one of the ways troops communicated during the war.

Query # 546
Hello, I've attached two pages from my "pictorial tree" which shows the link to the Callaways, and Betsy Callaway who married William Henry Phillips and came to New Zealand. My Grandmother was a Phillips. I have been placing my stories and data on my website www.benner.org.nz (again still work in progress) Any more details about the Callaways in Cornwall would be appreciated. Especially photos etc. Kind

Query # 547
Hello, My name is Christy Cunningham. My grandfather, Richard
Warren Callaway has passed. Unfortunately I did not get a lot of
information while he was alive. I am however having a lot of fun
finding things on the internet. It appears that people want to
check information at cemeteries. I am located in Orange County,
California. If there is anyone that wants information that I can
get locally, please give them my address. I am not looking to
charge money, I will only be able to do it when I have time.
Sometimes I have a lot of time, and sometimes not so much.
Query # 548 I am trying to figure out my Calloway Heritage as I now have 2 small Children; Julian Conrad Calloway and Madiline Elizabeth Calloway. I have one sibling Casey Conrad Calloway (born Maryville, IL) and All I know is from my father Richard "Blackie" Calloway who was born in Belleville IL. (maybe East Saint Louis) to Richard "Red" (no middle name) Calloway. Richard's father was Melvin Calloway. My father believes that Melvin was born in Ashley, IL. I would estimate the year of his birth had to be around 1900 - 1910 although I can't be sure. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated in connecting Melvin.
-Regards, Editor's Note - This "Mystery Callaway" line is listed in more detail in our July 2010 newsletter. It is the Edmund Callaway line.
