ABNER CALLAWAY DEAD
 
Well Known Pioneer Passes Away at His Home Near Caldwell
 
Caldwell, July 26 -- At 4 o'clock this morning A. E. Callaway passed away at 
his home in this city surrounded by his family.  Mr. Callaway was born in 
Missouri and at his death was 79 years of age.  He was one of the pioneers of 
the west and of Idaho, going to California in 1849, when the mining excitement 
first broke out.  He was a veteran of the Mexican war, an Indian fighter and 
pioneer.  When the gold excitement was at its highest he came to the Boise 
Basin, and was elected from Boise county to the territorial legislature, and 
twice served from Ada county.  He had resided in the Boise valley near 
Caldwell for a number of years, and had taken a prominent part in the affairs 
of this community.  He was an honest, rugged pioneer, and his friends are 
legion.  He leaves a wife and four children.
 
The funeral services will be from the residence tomorrow evening at 6 o'clock.
