the second such honor bestow
ed upon the late Garden Club
sponsor. The Covington Garden
I Club, founded by Mrs. Calla-
I way, carried the following de
-1 dication in its Silver Anniver
sary Yearbook: “The Silver
Anniversary edition of the Cov
ington Garden Club Yearbook
is lovingly dedicated to t h e
Founder of the Club, Mrs. E.
E. Callaway, Sr., through
whose efforts this organization
came into being, at her home,
on November 8, 1929.
“Her vision of beauty, for
not only her own garden, but
for her whole community, has
gone far toward making Cov
ington the Garden Spot that it
truly is; and her wise counsel
and tireless efforts have con
tributed much toward making
the life-span of the Covington
Garden Club a period of pro
gressive achievement in t h e
cultural life of this section”.
Relative to the Miniature
Club’s tribute to Mrs. Callaway,
we quote Mrs. Herbert Vining,
publicity chairman, who said,
“Mrs. Callaway organized the
Miniature Garden Club in Sep
tember, 1948, and was advisor
to the Club until the time of
her death in June, 1960. She
gave of her time and her many
talents to us constantly and de
votedly. Her genius for ‘getting
things done right’, and her wise
guidance remain a challenge to
the Miniature Garden Club; and
it is with deep affection and
gratitude that we dedicate this
Flower Show to the inspiration
of her memory”.
