Callon, William A. (13 November 1873 - 5 Mar 1894)

WILLIAM A. CALLON, only son of William and Nancy Callon, was born November 13, 1873, at Schofield, in the town of Weston, Marathon County, and was a babe of one year when his parents settled permanently at Wausau. He was educated in the city schools and at Lawrence University. On February 16, 1911, he was married to Miss Margaret E. Delaney, a daughter of Patrick Delaney, a pioneer of Wausau. Mr. Delaney was born at Montreal, Canada, March 3. 1846, and in 1856 came to Fond du Lac, Wis. where he lived for two years, then lived for several years at Oshkosh and afterward spent five years at Baraboo Valley, in Sauk county. He returned then to Oshkosh and from there in 1872 came to Wausau. For many years he was in the liquor business but now is a commercial traveler, making his home, however, with Mr. and Mrs. Callon. At Oshkosh, April 28, 1870, he married Miss Johanna Sheepy, who was born in Ireland in April, 1846, and five daughters were born to them. Visitors to the neighborhood of the old Callon homestead have watched with admiration the completion of the elegant bungalow which Mr. Callon has erected at No. 702 Grand avenue, its appearance being that of a handsome club house while it is probably one of the finest appointed homes in the city. All its surroundings are equally attractive including a garage for the housing of his automobile. Mr. Callon has numerous social connections and his late father was a member of the Knights of Honor and of the Masonic fraternity.
