Morris Herald, Mar 1887
George A Galloway

The remains of George A. Galloway, who died at Odell on Monday, were brought 
to this city and buried from the Presbyterian church on Wednesday of this 
week, Rev. Magner officiating. A large number of friends and relatives were 
present, and a detail from Darveau Post, G. A. R., acting as escort.

Deceased was born in Mercer county, Pa., in March, 1839. He came with his 
father, George Galloway, to Morris at an early day, and with the exception of 
three years in the army, resided here until the year 1872, when he went to 
Cleveland, Ohio, to study law with his cousin, W.C. McFarlane. At the breaking 
out of the war he enlisted in the 100th Pa. regment, known as the "Round Head 
Regiment." During the time of enlistment he was attacked with chronic 
diarrhea, and although broken in health served the full term of his 
enlistment. For about eight years he practiced law in Cleveland, but 
consumption having taken hold upon him, he was required to seek a home in 
other parts, and settled at Walla Walla, Oregon, where he resided until last 
fall when he was compelled to give up and return to Illinois to his sister, 
Mrs. Hunter, at Odell, where he at last fell by the hand of the disease which 
had so long followed him. He was a good student, a man of high character and 
good ability, and had he been blessed with health would have attained an 
enviable fame as a lawyer.
