Josh Baker Callaway, Jr.
March 12, 1934 - June 19, 2018
Natchez – Funeral services for Josh Baker Callaway, Jr., 84, of Natchez, who passed away on June 19, 2018 at Merit Health Natchez, will be held at 2:00 p.m. on June 21, 2018 at the Grace United Methodist Church with Pastor Linda Fox officiating.

Mr. Callaway was born on March 12, 1934 in Marshall, Texas, the son of Josh Baker Callaway and Sally Virginia Callaway.

Following college, Mr. Callaway was employed by the Hughes Tool Company, and Southwest Oilfield Products, where he served as Vice President and on the Board of Directors.
