J. G. Callison is the proprietor of Locust Grove Farm, section 35; was born 
October 17, 1854, in Lafayette County, Missouri, and was the son of David N. and 
Louisa H. (Oglesby,) Callison. The former died while J. G. was but five years of 
age, and the latter now resides in Missouri. Of their family one son and a 
daughter only survive. For two years, our subject was a student at Columbia 
College, after which he commenced giving his attention to farming and stock 
raising. He is one of the most thorough agriculturists in the county, and though a 
young man, fully understands his chosen calling. His farm, containing 500 acres, 
is located about 7 miles northwest of Calhoun, and he raises about 10,000 
bushels of corn and 800 bushels of wheat annually. He also feeds a quantity of 
stock, and has some fine colts of the Hambletonian breed. His residence is 
situated on a slight elevation, commanding a good view of the surrounding 
country, the city of Windsor appearing in the distance, and everything about the 
place indicates the successful and progressive farmer. May 17, 1877, Mr. Callison 
was married to Miss Hildred R. Wall, daughter of Wm. J. and Martha Wall, of this 
county, she having been born June 1, 1856. They have three sons: George F., born 
April 16, 1878; Sterling M., born August 13, 1879; and John G., born June 27, 
1881. Politically Mr. C. is a Democrat. He is a member of the "County Line Church" 
of the Baptist denomination, and also belongs to Cold Spring Lodge, No. 274, of 
Johnson County.
