Weathersby, Miss., Aug 7 - - Dr. D. McCallum, physician, Westville, Miss., died July 3rd, 1917. He inherited sturdy Scotch blood from his ancestors, both his paternal and maternal grandparents having been natives of Jura, Scotland.

Dr. McCallum’s father, John McCallum was a native of Robeson County, N.C., and was a very successful farmer. He married Miss Lovdy Brown, also of the Old North State, and reared twelve children, eight daughters and four sons of whom the doctor was the tenth in order of birth. The latter was born in the same county as his father, in 1832, and received a thorough academic education at the Ashland high school, taking a classical course. After leaving school he was engaged in teaching for two years in North Carolina and in 1858 he removed to Jefferson County, Miss., where he remained two years, a part of which time he taught school. In 1859 he went to the Lone Star State, but the same year he returned to North Carolina, where he began the study of medicine under his brother, Dr. W. D. McCallum, with whom he remained until the breaking out of the Civil War. Immediately after the first battle of Manassas, he enlisted in the fortieth North Carolina regiment, Company E, heavy artillery, and was captured at the last fight of Fort Fisher. He was held prisoner at Point Lookout for six months, and after cessation of hostilities, he returned to North Carolina and resumed the study of medicine.

After graduating he began practicing at Bladenboro, Bladen County, N.C., and there continued until March, 1870, when he removed directly to Westville, Simpson County, Miss., where he had been successfully engaged in his profession. He had an extensive practice and stood high in his profession, keeping well posted in the advance of the medical science. He was an honored member of the Mississippi State Medical association, of which he had been vice president and to which he had contributed numerous articles of merit. In 1875 the doctor celebrated his nuptial with Miss Kate McLaurin, daughter of D. A. and C. McLaurin, and to them were born four children, two sons and two daughters. He was a member of Westville lodge, A.F. & A.M., and he and his family held membership in the Presbyterian church.

The remains were laid away in the family grave yard, at the McLaurin place in Simpson County, Mississippi.
