Mahoning Dispatch 24 Feb 1939
MRS REBECCA CALLAHAN
SUMMONED BY HER MASTER
Mrs. Rebecca Callahan aged 82 years, died at 3:30 last Saturday morning at her 
home on North Broad street  following an illness of three weeks, although her 
condition had kept her close to home for several years. She was a daughter of 
Mr. and Mrs. John Sanzenbacher, early residents of Canfield, and was born Aug. 
30, 1856, in a house only a short distance from the one in which she passed 
away. Her only other places of residence were a mile east of the village and 
for a short time on West Main street. On May 20, 1875 she was married to Irvin 
Callahan, who died eight years ago. He for a considerable time was associated 
with her father in the tannery business. Mrs. Callahan was the last of her 
immediate family. She was a devoted member of the Methodist church, active in 
the Missionary Society and other good works as long as her health permitted. 
Memory of her will long be revered by a wide circle of friends. Funeral 
services in the Methodist church at 2 o’clock Tuesday afternoon were conducted 
by her pastor, Rev. George A. Gibson. Burial was beside her husband in the 
village cemetery.




Additional Comments:
NOTES: According to the calendar from newspaper dates, Beccie died on Sat., 18 
Feb 1939, but according to cemetery book of tombstone readings, she died on 21 
Feb 1939. I believe the newspaper is probably the accurate date.
2.Obituary 27 February 1931 for Irvin Callahan states the wedding date as 20 
May 1877; Rebecca's obit date of 1875 the correct date.
