CALAWAY, Thelma L. Morocco is mourning the loss of civic and church leader, social news correspondent and friend Thelma L. Calaway, who died Saturday afternoon, February 18, 1984, at the age of 70 following an extended illness.   
Mrs. Calaway had been a member of various organizations since she came to Morocco in 1944 with her husband, John, a former longtime Morocco Town Board member who preceded her in death in 1982. She was a charter member of Morocco’s Projects Unlimited, an organization that raises funds for various community improvements and programs. She also was a member of the Morocco Garden Club, Enos Bunco club and the Newton County Republican Women’s Club. Morocco Community Productions, a group that presents musical or dramatic programs annually, also counted her among their membership. Mrs. Calaway also was involved in various activities throughout the years at the United Church of Morocco, and she had served in the past as a deaconess.    
But, perhaps she was best known as the author of the “Morocco Locals’ column, a duty she had performed since practically her first days as an employee of the Morocco Courier. Mrs. Calaway was hired by the former operators of the newspaper, Lee and the late Vern Ellis, about 27 years ago. In the nearly 20 years that Ellis worked with her, she said they “never had one cross word.” At the beginning, Mrs. Calaway had several other duties besides the “Morocco Locals’ column, including answering the telephone, waiting on customers, doing general office work and helping at times to fold the papers after they came off the press. Mrs. Ellis recalled that they “always had such a good time together,” and she noted that Mrs. Calaway was “certainly a good worker for us.”   
When the Morocco Courier was purchased in 1976 by Keith Robinson, then owner of the Rensselaer Republican and other area newspapers, Mrs. Calaway continued her duties as writer of the “locals.” Sometime during her years at the newspaper, she also began gathering Mount Ayr news.   
Mrs. Calaway only announced her retirement as correspondent for the Morocco Courier, which is now owned by Dear Publications, Inc., last week. As yet, a new “Morocco Locals” author has not been named, but Donna LaCosse has taken over the Mount Ayr correspondent duties.   
Mrs. Calaway, who lived at 326 W. State, died at 1:10 p.m. Saturday at George Ade Memorial Hospital. Born Feb. 14, 1914 in Anderson, she was the daughter of Horace and Medora Ray Reason. She married Jonathan Calaway on March 28, 1935.

Reason, Watertown, N.Y.; Roland McAllister, Wabash; and Ronald McAllister, Jacksonville, Fla.; and four sisters, Mrs. Dollie Merredith and Mrs. Roseanna Yentes, Wabash; Mrs. Olive Briel, Peru, Ind.; and Mrs. Lenabelle Van Ryan, Fort Wayne.
