CAVEAT: Please read the following obituary notice in toto, but note that the text, while transcribed from the original exactly as written had some errors. William Callaway was married for a second time in 1890, in Colorado, to Frances Harlan. She would have been the one to provide information to the mortician/sexton at the time of William's death in 1904, and they in turn would have provided same to the newspaper. That a miss-transcription of information occurred is logical. Through examination of records long after the fact, the 1904 obit has some edits contained within the [sic] sections, following. Also, California did not require death certificates until 1905, and there is no burial permit on file with the County of Butte. Chico Daily Morning Record, Saturday November 5, 1904, pg 8 col 3: William Calloway [sic: Callaway] Passes Away in Fullness of Years. William Calloway, who had reached the venerable age of 82 years, was called from his labors yesterday morning at 3 o’clock, after a trying illness which had extended over a period of more than half a year, at the family home corner of Fourth and Ash streets. Mr. Calloway, with his wife and five children, came to Chico from Nebraska about four years ago [sic: William and his second wife, Frances, whom he married in 1890 in Colorado moved to Chico], and purchasing a home, identified himself with this community. About six months ago he was stricken with a severe attack of paralysis, which had since that time prevented his active participation in labor, and which was directly the cause of his death. In addition to his widow, he leaves to mourn his passing three sons and two daughters, who are residents of Chico [sic: the children never moved to California], and two sons and two daughters now living in Nebraska, and one son in Colorado [sic: this would lead one to believe that William had 10 children, when in fact the five surviving sons and daughters were counted twice ... once, in error as residents of Chico, and once as residents of Nebraska and Colorado. William and his first wife Mary Ann (née Penny) Callaway were the parents of five, all of whom who are linked to this memorial]. The funeral will take place from his late residence, at the corner of Fourth and Ash street, at 2 p.m. today, the services being conducted by Rev. McCart of the Baptist church, and interment will be had at Chico cemetery. ~~~ 82-year-old William Callaway was interred, per the Chico Cemetery Association Records, in the plot noted, on November 5, 1904. ~~~ Chico Daily Enterprise, Saturday Evening, November 5, 1904, pg 10 col 3: Wm. Calaway [sic] Laid To Rest. The funeral of the late Wm. Caloway [note variant spelling] was held this afternoon from the family residence at the corner of Fourth and Ash streets, Rev. McCart of the Baptist church officiating. Impressive services were held at the home, after which the funeral procession passed slowly to the Chico cemetery, where the interment took place at the grave. Rev. McCart spoke the words consigning the deceased to his last resting place. The late Mr. Calloway [yet another variant spelling] came to his death yesterday from a long illness resulting from paralysis. He came here from Nebraska with his family and has been a respected citizen of Chico for several years. He leaves to mourn his loss three sons and two daughters, two sons and two daughters in Nebraska and one son in Colorado. ~~~ *** On November 4, 2019, 115-years after his passing, William Callaway's grave was marked with the granite stone now showing as part of this memorial. In preparation for the setting of the new marker, staff at CCA unearthed the "can marker" [see secondary photo]. The small round marker was placed at the burial site for Mr. Callaway at the time of his interment in 1904. The original “can marker” (so named by cemetery staff for the format used to create them), found when preparing the site for the new marker was inscribed with metal lettering, pressed into wet concrete with the name William Calloway [sic], the date 1904, as well as the letter “C” [Section 11,C]. The metal letters were popped out of the concrete once it had set, to provide the marker/location of burial. Through the years the can marker had become depressed with high water; lawn mower activity and such, to where it was no longer visible. Great-granddaughter Gail Rule was given the can marker, to return it to Unadilla Cemetery, Unadilla, Otoe County, Nebraska to be placed at that location.
