Llewellyn L. Callaway

Llewellyn Link Callaway (December 15, 1868 – August 6, 1951)[1][2] was chief justice of the Montana Supreme Court from 1922 to 1935.

Born in Tuscola, Illinois, Callaway moved with his family to Virginia City, Montana Territory, in March 1871, his father, James E. Callaway, having been appointed Secretary of the Territory of Montana by President Ulysses S. Grant.

Callaway was sent to attend West Rugby Academy and Hamilton Preparatory School in Philadelphia from 1884 to 1885.

In the fall of 1886, he entered the University of Michigan, but a devastating winter forced him to return to Madison County to help his father's ranch.

[1] In 1903, Callaway was chosen by the justices of the state to join the Montana Supreme Court Commission,[2] and in 1904, he was elected District Judge for the 5th Judicial District and so resigned the Court Commission in 1905.
