NOBLE CALLAWAY son of Micajah and Frankie (Hawkins) Callaway, appropriate
remarks of whom are made elsewhere here, was born in Bourbon County, Ky.,
March 15, 1809, and when one year old came with his parents to this
county, which ha since been his home. Like the majority of pioneer boys,
he had to work hard, early and late, and received such advantages as only
that primitive time afforded. Accepting farming as his vocation through
life, has steadily followed it, and by his untiring exertions, has secured
a good home and a farm of 263 acres. In this he has been loyally aided by
his wife, who was formerly Miss Martha K., daughter of Benjamin and Jemima
(Starr) Nicholson. Mr. and Mrs. Callaway are among Washington County's
best people, and are the parents of this family: James, Joseph, Jemima
(deceased), Thornton, Frankie, Lewis, H. G., Alice (deceased) and Patrick.
Mrs. Callaway was born March 30, 1818.
