" Saturday, September 5th, will be remembered as the day when that good man, v. M. M. Calahan; passed from earth to his reward in the land beyond. Sunday he was buried at the Old Macedonia Graveyard in the presence of a large number of sorrowing friends. Rev. J. F. McLendon of Clayton, Rev. D.D. Milton of Beckville, Baptist Ministers; and Rev. J.M. Smith of Beckville, a Methodist minister, each assisted in conducting the impressive funeral ceremony.Parson Calahan, as he was everywhere known, was one of the oldest settlers in this county. He came to Panola County in 1848 and lived on the Old Rosser place three miles southeast of town for two years. he then moved near Macedonia where he has lived ever since that time. His boyhood days were spent in Virginia where he grew to manhood on the same plantation with Gen. Jubal A. Early.Parson Calahan was 78 years of age and had been a Baptist minister for about forty years. No better or truer man has ever lived in the county. Those who knew him best say that he never had an enemy. The influence for good exerted by such men in a community is incalculable and it is a time for much sorrow when they pass from our midst."
