SAMUEL D. CALLEN of this place died in a Scranton hospital Wednesday night, November 26, 1924 the result of a fractured skull.  He was found by a policeman, lying unconscious on the street and it is believed he was the victim of foul play, although there were no witnesses of the affair.  To all appearances the injury to his head was made by a blunt instrument.  It was early in the morning when he was taken to the hospital and his death occurred at 10 o’clock that night, without his regaining consciousness.  He was a traveling representative of the Klinker manufacturing Company in Cleveland and was on his journey home to spend Thanksgiving.  He was 37 years old and is survived by his wife and three children.  Although called away from home much of the time by his business, nevertheless during his ten year’s residence in Canton he had made numerous friends.  Well informed on all subjects, always gentlemanly, he was good company.  No reason is known why he should have incurred the enmity of any one.  The funeral was held on Sunday afternoon from his late residence on High Street and interment was made in Park Cemetery.  On Monday, Mrs. Callen received word from Scranton detectives that a thorough investigation had been made and there were no traces of foul play.  A check for his month’s pay, received the same day, refuted the theory that a crime had been committed with robbery as the motive.  There is practically no doubt that death was due to heart failure.  –Canton Independent Sentinel
