Known specialty: Tuberculosis and lung disease. He treated several membmers of his wife's family in Wisconsin. Dr. Calloway published many research articles in early copies of the "Southern Medical Journal" and also the "American Journal of Diseases of Children" (most of these between 1910 and 1916.) He is also listed as a one-time faculty member of the Homeopathic Medical College. Some of the articles he published dealt with tuberculosis and pediatric diseases. He obviously was a researcher as well as practitioner.
He not only attended patients in the urban Asheville, NC, area but also had patients who were 'mountain people' in rural areas of North Carolina. His grandson, James Calloway Stephens, tells the story that one family of these mountain people cared for Arthur's hunting dogs and thought very highly of Dr. Calloway. So much so, they named their first four children: Arthur, William, Calloway, and the last......M.D. He delivered babies on tables in some instances; and when he attended women patients, either his wife Charlotte or their daughter, Ann Bowles Calloway, had to go with him. They traveled both by car and by horse and buggy, depending on the terrain.
Dr. Calloway's 1923 death certificate online says he committed suicide by gunshot. A family member said that he had stomach cancer and could not deal with the pain. The stigma of a death by suicide, and the fact that she had no close family ties with the area herself, prompted his wife, Charlotte Lytle Calloway and children James Lytle Calloway and Ann Bowles Calloway, to leave the Asheville area very soon after the funeral. They returned to the Chicago area to be with her sisters, Florence and Dorothy, and her widowed mother, Maria Theresa Lytle (Mrs. James Lytle).
