George N. Calloway Of Chatfield Buried
Special to The News
CORSICANA, Texas. Dec. 5. - George Newton Calloway, 65, resident of the
Chatfield community for the last forty-three years, died in the Navarro
clinic Sunday afternoon and the funeral services were held from the
Chatfield Methodist Church Monday afternoon with burial in the
Chatfield Cemetery. The
services were conducted by the Rev. R. H. Heizer.
Mr. Calloway had long been a prominent citizen of the Chatfield community.
Prior to entering the mercantile business twenty years ago, he was a rural
mail carrier for thirteen years. He had long been a member of the Chatfield
Methodist Church and was a member of the board of stewards at the time of
his death. Surviving are his wife, three sons, J. Arch Calloway, Chatfield;
J. E. Calloway, Mexia, and George A. Calloway, Corsicana; daughter, Mrs. M.
J. Jackson, Chatfield; eight grandchildren, and a sister, Mrs. Margaret
Echols, McAlester, OK.
Notes:
George Newton Callaway and his wife Mary Denbow Callaway are buried in Chatfield Cemetery as you have them listed. However, when I read the
obit for George, he listed only 3 sons and he actually had 4 sons. Not sure about how many daughters. Now why the fourth son, James Robert
Callaway, was omitted from the obit, I do not know. But if other people are looking for the parents of James Robert Callaway, they might not
make the connection.
Thank you,
Sallie Bell Reeves
One more thing, James Robert can be found with his parents on the 1900
Navarro Co. TX Census at age 8 and listed as James R. and on the 1910
Navarro Co. TX Census at age 18 and listed as Robert.

Mrs. Campbell was active and in good health despite advancing years
up until a few months ago, but for the past several months she has
been confined to her bed and had gradually lost strength until her
passing was not expected, but her loved ones, watching constantly at
her bedside, were deeply grieved when the final summons came and
have the heartfelt sympathy of a host of friends in their hour of
sadness at the passing of this good woman.

Mrs. Campbell was of a quiet and unassuming nature, a true
home=lover but during her long residence here she had made a host of
friends who will be deeply grieved at her passing away. She was a
great lover of flowers and up until a few months ago, despite her
advancing age, she could be seen walking among and caring for her
flowers and greeting her friends who passed that way.
She will be deeply missed not only by her family but by the large
circle of friends who had been drawn to her through the years by her
kindly manner and optimistic outlook on life in general and her
native county and state especially.
