Notes
J C Castellaw was the owner of the Castellaw Drug Store on Knox Street in Ennis, Texas. The store was in operation from around 1900 until his death in 1951. I was told by three different people that the building still stands and is now occupied by a group of lawyers. Upon examing the building, I found that it was Calhoun's Drug Store and not Castellaw's. Castellaw's Drug Store was opposite the post office, according to old advertisements.
J C and Lila lived on the corner of W Baylor and N McKinney in Ennis. There are pictures of Lila and Jack in front of an all wood home, pictures of an empty lot showing the porch of that home, and then pictures taken in front and around the side of a new home, part brick and part wood. I was told their house burned. I'm not sure if that was the first one or the second one, but no house is on that lot today. I'm also not sure if the second house was built in the same place.
Jack and Lila's only child, Jack Pender Castellaw, was killed in a bus/train accident in 1927.
