Photo of the week: Edward Callister

This is a picture of my 3rd great grandfather, Edward Callister. He was born November 12 or 20, 1824, Peel, Isle of Man, England. He was baptized in 1843. He married Ann Cowley November 1, 1851 in St. Louis, Missouri. They travelled in the William Field Company in 1854 to Utah. They were sealed in the Endowment House 14 Aug. 1857.

One of Edward & Ann's sons was Edward Henry Callister who married Louise Jane Eddington. They are the parents of Irene Callister. She married Raymond Verne McCullough.

All I know of him was that he was a tailor. If you know more...please comment or e-mail me at funseekerfamilyhistory@gmail.com.

Edward died on the 16th of January 1888 in Salt Lake City, Utah and was buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery. Here is a link to the death notice from the Deseret News. http://www.eancestry.org/docs/003786.pdf It is in the fourth column towards the bottom. It will be in an adobe file and you can zoom in to read it.
