A Beautiful Life Ended.
Tuesday morning at 11:15 o'clock after an illness of eleven weeks, Mrs. Julia
GALLAGHER passed away at the age of 82 years, and 28 days.
In August, 1918, Mrs. Gallagher broke up her home at Harper, Kansas, where she
owned a farm and was beloved by the entire community, and came to Glenwood
Springs to spend her remaing days at the home of Postmaster H.W. SMITH. Mrs.
Smith being her only daughter. Besides her daughter, Mrs. Gallagher leaves two
sons, John F., at Bremerton, Wash. and Edward at Anthony, Kans., and a grandson,
Edward Gallagher, jr., who visited Mrs. Smith here during the summer of 1917 and
made many friends in Glenwood.
Mrs. Gallagher was born in Ireland and came to America with her parents when a
mere child. She grew up in Saint Louis.
Funeral services, conducted by Father J.P. Carriigan, will be held at St.
Stephen's Catholic church Saturday at 2:30 p.m. after which Mrs. Smith and her
brother who is expected to arrive Friday night from Bremerton, Wash., will
accompany the remains to Saint Louis where they will be laid to rest beside
those of her parents in Calvary cemetery.
In accordance with the expressed wish of Mrs. Gallagher, the funeral will be
from St. Patrick's church in St. Louis, which she attended during girlhood and
where she was married. It is expected that her son and grandson from Kansas will
be present.
