Accident Fatal To Atlanta Man
Brantley [sic] Callaway Dies In Warrenton Mishap
from: The Augusta Chronicle, Augusta, GA, Saturday, August 23, 1947, p. 2
WASHINGTON, Ga., Aug. 22. - Brantley [sic] M. Callaway, 68, of Atlanta died in a hospital here this afternoon as a result of injuries received this morning in an automobile crash at Warrenton.
Chief of Police P. N. Poole of Warrenton said Mr. Callaway apparently lost control of the car, and it plunged at high speed into a column of the Georgia Railroad overpass. Mr. Callaway was found unconscious and carried to the hospital in an ambulance.
A physician who examined the victim at the scene said he evidently had suffered a heart attack just prior to the accident and probably received internal injuries in the mishap. The car itself was demolished.
Funeral services for Mr. Callaway will be held at the Edgar Callaway home in Wilkes county at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon, and burial will follow in the Callaway family cemetery.
A native of Wilkes county, Mr. Callaway had lived in Atlanta for more than 25 years. He was a member of the First Baptist Church of Atlanta and active in Baptist affairs including the Home Mission Board of the church.
He is survived by several nieces and nephews.

Funeral Services For Brantley [sic] M. Callaway Held At Family Plot

Funeral services for Brantley [sic] Mercer Callaway were held on Sunday afternoon and interment was in the Callaway family burial ground adjoining the Callaway home place, where each succeeding generation lies buried.
Mr. Callaway was brought to the Washington Hospital on Friday morning, after the car which he was driving alone, struck an underpass car Warrenton.[looks like something is missing. STG] He was unconscious when found, and died without regaining consciousness. It is thought that possibly he suffered a stroke, and that this was the cause of the accident, since he was known to be a slow and careful driver.
Although he made his home in Atlanta for many years, Mr. Callaway was a native of Wilkes Co., being the youngest son of the Rev. Brantley Mercer and Lucy Howard Callaway. Mr. Callaway was an honor graduate of Mercer University, of the class of 1898. He later attended Columbia University.
Mr. Callaway was the great grandson of John and Bethany Arnold Callaway who settled the grant [sic] of land given him in 1783 in Wilkes, and where his descendants have continued to live through one hundred sixty-three years.
Mr. Callaway was the last member of his immediate family, but is survived by several nieces and nephews. He was a Deacon in the First Baptist Church in Atlanta, and had been a director of the Baptist Home Mission Board.
Funeral services were conducted by his pastor, the Rev. J. H. Midleton, of Atlanta, and the following nephews were pallbearers: W. T. Callaway, Q. A. Callaway, Kenneth merry, Brantley M. Callaway, William Callaway and J. A. Callaway.

Brantly Mercer Callaway
by Elizabeth Richardson Callaway,
wife of John Allan Callaway, deceased, July 1, 1983
from: An Account of The John Callaway Family and Home In Wilkes Co., GA by Brantly Mercer Callaway II, (Columbus, GA: Callaway Family Association, 1983), "Introduction," pp. 1-2:
Brantly Mercer Callaway II was the youngest child born to Rev. Brantly M. Callaway and Lucy Howard Callaway.
The family consisted of four sons and two daughters....namely, Judge Howard Callaway of Augusta, Georgia; Edgar Allan Callaway of Rayle, Georgia; Will Callaway of Clarksville, Georgia; Ellen Callaway of Augusta, Georgia; Anna Callaway of Atlanta, Georgia; and Brantly M. Callaway, II of Atlanta, Georgia.
Rev. Brantly Callaway, a distinguished Baptist minister and his family occupied the home of his father, Enoch Callaway, also a renowned Baptist minister. The home located near Rayle, Georgia was built in 1830 by Rev. Enoch Callaway and stands today. It is occupied by Louise and William Johnson...Louise being his great, great, great granddaughter. The house is located on a sizable acreage which is part of land ceded to the original John Callaway.
Uncle "Brant" as he was affectionately called by his family grew up and was educated in the schools of Wilkes Co., GA, until he was ready to attend Mercer University, a Baptist college located in Macon, Georgia.
Having obtained his B.A. degree at Mercer University he enrolled at The University of Chicago in search of his M.A. degree.
Upon obtaining his objective he went to Florida to teach. As fate would have it he was shortly called home by the death of his father. Necessity demanded that he resign the Florida position and remain in Wilkes County to be near his mother and sisters and to operate the family farm.
This he did but the craving and admiration of education never left him. This is exemplified in the following telegram which he sent me on May 27, 1919 upon my graduation from Agnes Scott College and which I value even unto today. I quote: "I wish to take honor to your persistence in the pursuit of a cultural ideal to the attainment of a diploma from Agnes Scott. this begin uncommon I congratulate you on its distinction and wish for you all the success and happiness possible."
After the death of his Mother in 1915 he felt that his foremost obligation had been fulfilled and with family consent the acreage and home was sold to his brother, Edgar A. Callaway, who already owned adjoining property.
Uncle "Brant" and his sister, Anna, moved to Atlanta where they maintained separate apartments and he engaged in business. He was never so involved with business that he neglected his church which was The First Baptist of Atlanta. He was a member and teacher of The John Lake Bible Class of the First Baptist Church. I quote what this organization has to say of him:
"Brantly Callaway, born January 30, 1879 was a man of many talents. Besides teaching he was a deacon of the First Baptist Church for many years.
He was a Trustee for the Georgia Baptist Foundation and a member of the Executive Board of the Georgia Baptist Convention.
He was a member of The Home Mission Board and The Home Mission Trust Fund of the Southern Baptist Convention.
No matter what office he served in, he served well."
When he was killed in an automobile accident on the way to his home town of Rayle on August 22, 1947, all those who knew him lost a fellow servant and devoted Christian friend.
NOTE: This booklet is reproduced exactly as it came to the Callaway Family. Doubtless had "Uncle Brant" not died unexpectedly he would have rechecked, made changes as well as addition to the entire work. It is just as he left it.
