Heather,
I'm sure that particular obit was obtained from a microfilmed copy of the Lead Belt News on file with the public library in Park Hills (formerly known as Flat River). I just been posting random obits for informational purposes. I'm not related. However, I did look through my file and found an obit for a D. F. Callahan who died in 1927 that you may or may not be able to use. That obit reads as follows:
D. F. CALLAHAN -
D. F. Callahan, aged 69 years and one month, died at his home in St. Louis, Mo., April 19, 1927, following a brief illness. Funeral services were held Friday, April 22, 1927, conducted by Rev. King, and interment was in St. Matthew Cemetery.
Deceased was born in Wayne County [Mo.] March 20, 1858. February 3, 1885 he was married to Mary Jane Smith and to this union five children were born. One passed away in childhood. He is survived by his aged widow, Mrs. Mary Jane Callahan, four children, Mrs. Laura Boyer, Bonne Terre, Mrs. Mary Meanes, St. Louis; Jesse and Arthur Callahan, both of St. Louis; four sisters, Mesdames Ruth Pratt, Martha Givens and Mary Blue, all of DeSoto, and Cora Mites of St. Louis and two brothers, George and Wash Callahan, both of DeSoto. He also leaves ten grandchildren and a number of nieces and nephews, besides many more distant relatives.
