ALONZO NEWELL CALLAWAY
A. N. Callaway, of Tyler, was born in Sumpter county, Ala., January
25th, 1847. Enlisted when a mere boy, the 5th of April, 1864, in Co.
C. 8th Louisiana cavalry, and participated in the battle of Mansfield
and the skirmishes that led up to that successful fight of Gen. Dick
Taylor.
Young Callaway served with his command to the end of the war. His
excellent work as artist and photographer in Tyler has gained him a
reputation not confined to Texas. His wife is a native of Mississippi,
being the daughter of Capt. W. B. Thompson, who commanded a company
from that state during the war. His father, Wm. Janes Callaway, was a
native of Georgia, a physician and a noted Baptist Minister.
