Joe was born Aug. 11, 1879 in Wilkerson Co., Georgia, the youngest child of parents Louisa Josephine Whitehurst and Enoch Francis Marion Callaway. About 1884, Joe was brought to Morris Co., Texas as a small boy by his then widowed father Enoch F.M. Callaway and married sister Sarah Callaway Boatright. Shortly afterward, he became orphaned and lived his young life in Cass Co., Texas. By 1902 he had met and married Clemmie Roberts Stevens (1881-1968) and together they had eight children, all born in Hughes Springs. After Joe's retirement as a fireman and engineer for the M K & T Railroad, Joe and Clemmie spent their later years in Dallas, Texas. Joe passed away in Dallas May 20, 1945 at the age of 65. He is buried alongside Clemmie in the Hughes Springs Cemetery.
