The Western Star, Coldwater, Kansas, December 6, 1901
Parham Callaway Died - On Sunday, December 1, 1901, at his home in Louisville, 
Jefferson Co., KY, aged 83 years, 3 months and 10 days..........Grandfather 
Callaway was known to many Comanche Co., people, having spent a few years in 
this county with his son, R. A. Callaway, proprietor of the St. Nicholas Hotel 
of this City (Coldwater). Four other sons are still living, all of whom make 
their home in Louisville, and with these the father made his home for the most 
of the time, his wife, America Yount Callaway, having died 26 years ago. 
Grandfather Callaway retained his health and strength to a remarkable degree 
for one of his age. His Comanche Co. friends remember him only a few years ago 
as a sprightly and exceedingly jovial man of nearly four-score years. He was 
always inclined to look upon the bright side of life, and thus his disposition 
was sunny and inspiring to all who came in contact with him. He was much 
attached to his family and gave the best years of his life laboring for their 
welfare. His sickness was of several weeks duration. It was known for some time 
that the end was near, but death brought no fear nor regrets. He was prepared 
to die - his faith was anchored to an ever-lasting Savior. Thus, at 7:27 on 
last Sunday morning a long and eventful life was ended and the devoted sons 
were left to mourn the death of a kind father and this world deprived of a most 
worthy citizen.
