Death of an Old Resident
Mr Dennis Callaghan died yesterday afternoon at half-past one o’clock at his late
residence, corner of Fourth and D streets southeast, aged sixty-nine years. Mr Callaghan
was an old resident of the District, coming here from Luray, Page County, Va. He was at
one time connected with the Navy Yard, but for many years past has been engaged in the
grocery business. He has been prominently identified with the business interests of
Washington, and many of the substantial improvements made on Capitol Hill are attributable
to his energy. One of the many good qualities for which he was esteemed was his great
activity in charitable affairs, and during his useful and exemplary life he has done much
to relieve the sufferings of the poor and needy of Washington. He leaves three children –
Miss Laura Callaghan, Messrs. John, Daniel O’C, and Dennis Callaghan
