Forest Eugene Callahan was born November 8, 1889 in Palestine Twp., Cooper County, Missouri. He passed away March 20, 1966 in Atchison, KS and was buried at Leavenworth National Cemetery, KS.
His parents are Christopher Columbus Callahan and Sarah Ann Stephens Callahan. Forest was the youngest child of nine children (3 passing in infancy).
Forest was married to Ada J Salzman. This marriage produced a daughter, Helen Elizabeth who passed away six days after her birth.
He also was married to Margaret M Richey. A son, Charles Leonard, was born to Forest and Margaret. Charles lost his life April 30, 1942, in the Philippines while serving in the military.
A third marriage to Esther Mae Runion produced three more children consisting of two sons, Willard E and Franklin E and one daughter Betty J.
Two more sons, Forest Ardenne (Dean) and Ronald L were born to Forest and his fourth wife, Ada M.
Forest served in the US Army during WWI as a Sgt.
Forest was my grandpa. I loved him very much. We lived states away from each other but we visited him on a yearly basis and he would come visit my family and me. Grandpa and I stayed in touch with each other through letters. I always watched the mail waiting to hear from him.
When he passed I lost my grandpa but I had many great memories of him which I have kept with me through my years. I still think of him and miss him.
If anyone would have any information on the Callahan/Stephens family I would appreciate if you would contact me. Please contact me through the "Maintained by Bonnie Callahan Mack" at the bottom of this page.
Thank you
