For a time he was a teacher in the county and completed his literary education in the National Normal University at Lebanon, Ohio, and in the Indiana Normal University at Valparaiso. Dr. Callihan pursued his medical studies and is a graduate of the Cincinnati Eclectic School of Medicine, receiving his degree in 1903, after a four years’ course. He took post-graduate work in general medicine at the Chicago Polyclinic in 1915. His brother, G. D. Callihan, was also a graduate of the Cincinnati Eclectic School and received his diploma a year later than his brother and pursued a year’s course at the Chicago Polyclinic. They have an extensive general practice and also handle the medical and surgical work for two coal corporations.
