HENRY C. CALLENDER, of Irving, Jackson County, was born in Calhoun County, Michigan, August 23, 1848, the son of Dewey S. Callender, who was born in New York, December 26, 1800. He went to Calhoun County in 1836, and in 1864 came to Jackson County, where he died at the age of eighty years. He was a farmer by occupation, and politically was a Republican. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Our subject's mother, Clarissa (Parker) Callender, was born in Vermont, and died in Jackson County, this State. She was a daughter of Lemuel and Esther Parker, both natives of Vermont, and of English Extraction. They subsequently went to Calhoun County, Michigan, where they both died. They were the parents of nine children, namely: Mary S., Delia E., John M., Jared D., Emily Z., Fanny C., Augusta A., Charles H. and Henry C. Three of these have died: Jared, Delia and Augusta.
