I am looking for information on Martha J. Taylor Callahan. She was born 10 Apr 1863 in Jones County, Iowa. She went to Japan in 1890, married William Jackson Callahan on 09 Oct 1893 in Nagasaki, Nagasaki Japan. Shortly before William's retirement, she sailed from Kobe, Japan, (on October 1, 1934), with a destination of Houston, Texas, where one of their daughters was living. I have no record of her after she sailed from Japan to the USA.
Margaret's father died in Collins, Story County, Iowa.
William and Martha were Methodist missionaries in Japan for about 45 years. He returned to the USA in July 1835. He died 16 Apr 1936 in San Antonio, Texas.
Any help appreciated. I have lots of Callahan information and photographs, including a photo of William shortly after he arrived in Japan. I am happy to share information and/or photos.
