Ionia Standard – Friday, 23 July 1897
Mrs. Cordelia Galloway, was born in R______, Portage county, Ohio, Dec. 27th 
1834.  She came to Michigan with her parents about fifty-two years ago, and 
some forty-seven years ago she was married to James A. Galloway and came to 
Ionia county.  As will be seen by this, she was one of the pioneers of this 
section of country.  In all these years, she had lived with her family in one 
house in the township of Berlin.  She was the mother of 9 childen, six sons 
and three daughters.  They all survive her, and were present at her funeral.  
One daughter, Mrs. David C. Aelick, is a resident of this city.  Mrs. Galloway 
departed this life July 12th, 1897.  She was buried from the brick church 
across the river, from which her husband was buried some six years ago.  Rev. 
D. F. Barnes, D. D. conducted the funeral service, and her six sons acted as 
bearers.  It seldom occurs that a mother’s loss is more keenly felt than is 
her’s by her children.  As a neighbor, Mrs. Galloway was respected by all who 
knew her; as a wife, she was kind and devoted; as a mother, she was gentle and 
affectionate.  In early life she became a follower of the meek and lowly 
Jesus, united with the Methodist church, and remained a faithful believer 
until her death.  She has gone from us, and yet her life is before us, and her 
memory is precious.  She is not dead, but sleepeth.
