Callison Rites Are Set Here Wednesday
Services for Mrs. Am. M. Callison, 89, early San Angelo settler, will be held at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday at Johnson's Funeral Home with burial in Mertzon. The Rev. Gerald Cates will officiate.
Mrs. Callison, 1609 S. Harrison St., died in San Angelo Emergency Hospital Monday after a long illness.
A native of Giddings, Mrs. Callison was married in Brownwood in 1886.
Nine years later the couple moved to this area. They bought a farm at Wall.
San Angelo then was but a few stores on East Concho Avenue, and there was only one building, Mott's Dairy, north of the old Santa Fe depot, Mrs. Callison often recalled.
In later years the couple bought a ranch 12 miles south of Sherwood.
Mr. Callison died in 1927. Mrs. Callison sold the ranch and moved to San Angelo in 1940.
Mrs. Callison was a charter member of the Baptist Church at Mertzon which was organized in 1909.
Survivors include two sons, George Callison of Fontana, Calif., and Manning Callison of Willis City, Tex.; one daughter, Mrs. Josie B. Blanchard of 1609 S. Harrison St.; 10 grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren.
