   John M. Galloway, farmer, Stone Bluff, is the son of John and Ann (Lemmon)
Galloway, both natives of Kentucky, and early pioneers of Ohio, and emigrated
from Ohio to Fountain county in 1825, where they remained the rest of their
lives. They raised a family of nine children: Jacob, Polly A., Ruth, George A.,
Robert L., Martha Elizabeth, John M., Nancy, and Rebecca. Mr. Galloway was a
shoemaker by trade. He departed this life in 1855; his wife in 1853, aged
sixty-three years. They were both earnest advocates of moral teaching, and were
members of the Congregational Friends Society, now Progressive Friends. They
were universally respected by all who knew them, and with their disappearance
faded away two of the early landmarks of Fountain county, whose memory will long
be carefully treasured. John M. now lives on Sec. 13. He was married in 1850, in
his twenty-fifth year, to Sarah A. Romine, daughter of Isaac and Jane (Crane)
Romine, whose sketch will appear in this work under the name of Jacob Romine. By
this marriage he has six children: Elizabeth A., George A., Sevedus, Millie R.,
Owen R., John A. He and his wife are members of the Progressive Friends Society.
Mr. Galloway has a good farm of 200 acres, well stocked and well improved. In
politics he is a firm believer in the national theory.
