Notes for ANNE JANE CALLOW:
Anne Jane Callow was born and raised to young adulthood in Balla Callum, on
the Isle of Man. Under the protective wing of an uncle who was a sea captain,
Anne Jane immigrated to America and joined her grandparents in Ashtabula, Ohio.
Under tutelage of an aunt, Anne Jane became a very proficient and widely
known seamstress and opened a very successful millinary business. She became
reacquainted with Silas Skinner, whose family had been close neighbors in Andreas,
IOM when he took time from his seafaring duties
to visit family and friends in Ashtabula. Family lore has it that Annie and
Silas became close friends and that soon a romance developed. Silas,
however returned to his seafaring ways and the relationship was put on hold.
During this time Silas had left his ship in San Francisco having heard of the
discovery of gold in Idaho. He with a friend and a couple of burros to
carry their supplies walked from the Nevada gold mines to Idaho City Idaho over
the winter and arrived there in the spring.
In time Annie sent word to Silas that she had other "opportunities"
and that he had best decide on his priorities. Soon after that plans were made
for a return trip to the Isle of Man where Silas and Annie were married in Andreas.

DEATH NOTICE OF CAPT THOMAS CALLOW- (Copied by Esther Emmel from Skinner Family Bible, July 2009)
DEATH OF CAPT T. CALLOW
(Brother of Annie CALLOW SKINNER)
We regret to record the death of Capt.Thos. Callow, one of the most esteemed
and best known residents in Ramsey and the North, which took place at Handley
Terrace, Bowring Road, on Wednesday, at the age of 70 years. Capt. Callow has
not enjoyed good health for some time, but was now and then able to get out.
However, some five weeks ago he was taken seriously ill, and in spite of the
best medical attention, constant care, and careful nursing, he gradually became
worse, and "crossed the bar," as stated, on Wednesday.
Capt. Callow was born at Ballacallum. and was a son of the late Capt. Thomas
Callow, whose death occurred some years ago. At an early age he developed a
a liking for the sea, one of his first experiences in that direction being with
his
father on the well-known schooner Gem, of which he eventually became master.
Capt. Callow was not slow in proving his ability as a seaman and navigator,
and,
blessed with any amount of energy and pluck, he determined to make the most
of his opportunities. Seeing this, a, syndicate of Ramsey gentlemen had built
for him at Barnstaple in 1876 the clipper schooner Snaefell, which was in her
time
reckoned as the last word in coasting vessels for speed and handiness. In those
days steamers were a deal less plentiful than they are now, whilst sailing vessels
were sailing vessels in every sense of the word. Capt. Callow had as his contemporaries
such capable seafarers as the late Capt. Edw. Garrett (Empress), Capt. John
Clarke, Harbour Master (Wizard), Capt. D. Cleator, and others, and records for
speed and quick dispatch were put up on nearly every voyage. It was no uncommon
thing for these vessels then to be away from home for months at a time, whilst
trips to the Baltic and other foreign parts were frequent. After a successful
career and one remarkably free from accident, in the year 1886, Capt. Callow
retired from the sea, and started business as a coal merchant. He purchased
the three masted schooner Eclipse, and also became owner of the schooners Kitty
and Trial, these vessels being fully engaged in the coal traffic. As a result
of honesty and straightforward dealing, Capt. Callow built up an extensive and
prosperous business, which he relinquished about two years ago, in order to
spend
the remainder of his days in quietude. In his business affairs, he was greatly
assisted by his wife, who survives him, and who managed his extensive coal trade
with great ability.
The late Capt. Callow was a prominent Oddfellow being one of the first on the
books of the Good Anchorage Lodge. He was also a regular attender, up to the
time of his illness, at Church and Chapel, and was ever ready to assist in any
good
or charitable cause. Capt Callow was of a kindly and genial disposition, was
most interesting to converse with, and his demise is mourned by a large circle
of friends, who join in extending their sympathy to the bereaved family.
Capt. Callow was twice married, and had issue by his first wife: Mrs Cameron,
wife of Mr John Cameron of Pooldhooie House, Bispham; and Capt. J. T. Callow,
Assistant Harbour Master at Ramsey. By his second wife, who survives him, there
is issue: William, in Manchester; Capt. James Henry, chief officer the White
Star Liner Corinthic: Alfred, carpenter on board the White Star Liner Adriatic;
Fred. in the Harrison Line ; Mrs Quilleash, Ramsey; and Mrs J. T. Kerruish,
in Western Australia.
The interment took place to-day (Friday) at Andreas Churchyard, and was attended
by a large number of persons of town and country, including rnany associated
with maritime affairs.
