THE DADEVILLE RECORD April 13, 1933
Mr. and Mrs. J. T.
Adair of Eagle Creek are frequent visitors to the latter's mother, Mrs. F. E. 
Galloway. 

Mr. and Mrs. Palmer Galloway and sons were with Mrs. F. E. Galloway from Tuesday 
through Sunday.

Mrs. Lessie Jones, of Albertville, Mr. and Mrs. J.T. Scroggins of near 
Dadeville, Miss Minnie Galloway of Alexander City, Mr. Loyd Galloway of 
Daviston, Mrs. Will Pennington and daughters, of Selma, were among the many 
relatives who attended the funeral of Mr. Galloway on Wednesday.


 In the passing of Mr. F.E. Galloway on April 4, 1933, Concord community 
realized one of its saddest shocks. Up until this time apparently, he was quite 
well and had gathered in the Alexander City Baptist Church for the deceased 
brother-in-law, T. H. Shepard.
 "A rare instance it was", but as the minister was tenderly giving the last 
words of memorial to the body before him, Mr. Galloway sitting by the side of 
his life companion quietly fell asleep. His was a beautiful death. Coming as a 
soft April breeze. No mourning's of suffering, no sad farewells from this life, 
but going quietly without burdening any one with care that sometimes comes with 
the three-score age.
He was 62 years of age last September and was the eldest of a family of ten 
children. His father was twice married. He was of the first union of three 
children. His parents, stepmother, one sister, one daughter and one half-brother 
proceeded him several years ago. He leaves a wife, two daughters and two sons to 
mourn his going.
He had spent most of his life in this county, coming here with his parents from 
'Georgia when a very small boy, too young to even recollect the trip here.
 He has worshiped all these years in the Concord Primitive Church, although 
never uniting. His sterling qualities of Honest Dealings with his fellowman, his 
generous and loving nature, kind and sympathetic manner with all whom he came in 
contact, stand forth as the strongest proof of one who is closely related to the 
Heavenly Father. His tender devotion to his family, is ever an incessant memory. 
On Wednesday afternoon he was carried to Eagle Creek amidst a host of sorrowing 
relatives and friends. There before the pulpit, Revs, Lankford, Lester, and. 
Laws gave forth words of comfort to the bereaved. His body was laid to rest in 
the Church cemetery beside his youngest daughter, with ' Home Funeral Service in 
charge. We. extend our sympathy to the family and commend them to the one who is 
the source of all comfort.
