• Notes

  Tom McCallum 1849 - 1920 Following a two week illness, Uncle Tom McCallum died at the family home in Garland, Tuesday at 12:30. Uncle Tom had suffered for three or four years from diabetes, which gradually sapped his constitution. For some time he had been in critical condition, and his death was not unexpected. Paralysis developed about ten days ago, which was the immediate cause of his death. Funeral services were conducted at the Pleasant Valley Presbyterian Church Wednesday at two o'clock by Rev. Sam Templeton, pastor of the Rockwall Presbyterian church, and a friend of the family. A large crowd of friends was in attendance to honor the memory of a man whom all loved. Interment followed in the family plot at Pleasant Valley's pioneer cemetery. John Thomas McCallum was born in York County, SC Feb 9, 1849. He served in the Confederate Army from there and fought through the war. Following the close of the war he left shortly being harassed by carpet baggers who made life dangerous for Southern sympathizers. He came to Rusk County in 1871 where he lived for two years, coming from there to Pleasant Valley community where he established a home and lived up to a few years ago when he moved to Garland. He had by hard work and thrift accumulated considerable land. He married Miss Bettie Kelly in Rusk County in 1873, and to this union were born twelve children, nine of whom are still living, namely: Dr. Charles McCallum of Okla., Mack of Dallas, and Joe, Gee and J. T. of Garland; Mrs. Nina Pace, Mrs. Maude Flook, Mrs. Bertie Roberson of Garland and Mrs. Ola Bell Harris of Eldorado, Okla. Active pallbearers were his nephews: E. H., Ono, Homer, Guy, H. C. and Fred McCallum. Note: John Thomas McCallum was born at York District, SC February 9, 1849 and married C. Bettie Kelley in 1873. His parents were Peter and Violet Amelia Wallace McCallum. Tom McCallum died on December 28, 1920 and is buried at Pleasant Valley Cemetery.
