Death of Mr. L.N. Callaway
Another old citizen passes away. The death of Hon. L.N. Callaway which occured at 5 o'clock last Wednesday afternoon, at his home in this city produced profound sorrow throughout the county. During his illness of two weeks everything possible was done to add to his comfort and prolong his life, but he continued to grow worse until the end came.

The funeral services were held at his late residence Thursday afternoon at 5 o'clock, and conducted by his pastor Rev. J.W. Wray, of the Baptist church. All the business houses in the city were closed and marked respect was shown to his memory. Hundreds of citizens gathered at the home of the man who had taken an active interest in the affairs of the city for more than half a century, to pay their last tribute of affection. Many floral offerings from every part of the city were laid upon his casket.

The pall-bearers were, Messrs. T.W.Turk, L.H. Thomas, E.T. Alling, O.M. Cone, R.N. Lamar and Dr A.M. Jackson.
Leonidas Newton Callaway was a native of Baldwin county and was seventy years of age. In early youth he came from the country home of his father to this city, to clerk for his elder brother, Mr. A.W. Callaway. In this country home of his parents a very large and interesting family was reared, who in days past took an active part in the business and social affairs of this city and county. Most of them preceded Mr. Callaway to the grave.

In his young manhood Mr. Callaway served Baldwin county as Tax Collector for many years. In 1888 he was elected to the legislature and in connection with Hon. Robert Whitfield, who was in the Senate, did the county valuable service.
Mr. Callaway was quite and unassuming in his manners, but firm in his convictions, a man of good judgement and lovable social qualities. He was very popular though out the country and could at any time have been elected to any office in the gift of her people, had he so desired. For many years past he refused to run for any office and has led a very quite life. Mr. Callaway leaves a wife and son, Dr. J.A. Callaway, one brother Mr. Jasper Callaway, and 3 sisters: Mrs. Elizabeth Brake, Mrs. J.A. Greden, and Miss. Nancy Callaway. (Union Recorder)
