Rededication

William R. Callahan Park and Memorial Rededication Veterans Day
City leaders and members of the Malden community will gather at William R. Callahan Park on Veterans Day, Tuesday, November 11th at 12:00 Noon at the conclusion of the Veterans Day Parade for the rededication of the William R. “Billy” Callahan Park.
Billy Callahan, born on April 27, 1925, was raised in the Edgeworth section of Malden on Russell Street. In 1950, Billy enlisted in the U.S. Army just before the outbreak of the Korean War. Billy served on the Malden Common Council for two years and then Malden City Council for 14 years. Known to many as Mr. Fourth of July, Billy held tremendous July 4 celebrations at Devir Park during his years on the Council. He also served as a Democratic member of the 16th Middlesex District House of Representatives for one term, from 1971 to 1973. Billy represented Malden with pride and distinction as a member of multiple organizations, including the Knights of Columbus and the Ancient Order of Hibernians.
Billy Callahan came from a proud family of dedicated public servants and veterans who served our nation during some difficult times. His brother Eddie Callahan, a Malden Police Officer and WWII U.S. Navy veteran was killed in 1963 during a robbery at the A&P supermarket. Another brother, Paul Callahan, Colonel U.S. Marine Corps served in Korea as a Marine Officer and was a Malden school teacher, assistant principal as well as a City of Malden Councilor-At-Large, who passed away in 2007. The Callahan boys also had a sister Mae Beaton.
Billy Callahan died on January 22, 1976 at age 50 leaving his wife Ann, daughter MaryAnn and the City of Malden much too early. On July 8, 1978, William R. Callahan Park was dedicated in Billy’s honor to recognize his distinguished service and dedication to the residents of Malden and his country.
