Charles Gallagher, father of Charles Henry Gallagher, was born in Ireland. He emigrated to the United States when a very young man. He settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where the uncles of his wife were largely engaged in the coal shipping trade. He established himself in the same business, and so successful was he in his business methods and enterprise that he ultimately bought out the interests of his wife's uncles, and greatly enlarged the business undertakings. He amassed an enormous fortune, and at his death left all his children more than comfortably provided for. He died at his country home, in New Hope, New Jersey, 1893. He married, in Ireland, Grace McGee, and had a child, Charles Henry, of whom see forward. Charles Henry Gallagher, son of Charles and Grace (McGee) Gallagher, was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, March 4, 1865. He received a most excellent business education in the Pierce Business College of his native city, and at the age of seventeen years entered the business of his father and acted as his assistant in his enormous interests. He thus early gained a thorough insight into the methods in vogue in this line of business, and when called upon to take charge was well and properly equipped. Part of his share of his father's estate consisted of thirty-two canal boats, each valued at eight thousand dollars. He is possessed of great executive ability, enterprise and progressive ideas, and Gallagher's Shipping Company has offices at Coalport, Trenton, New Jersey, and in Philadelphia, and is one of the best known firms in this field of industry in the United States. They do all the coal shipping for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. In politics Mr. Gallagher is a stanch Democrat, and was a member of the excise board from 1902 until 1905. He is a consistent member of the Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church, taking an active interest in all that concerns it, and is a member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. He was also at one time a member of the Catholic Club and of the Trenton Wheelmen. Mr. Gallagher married Julia M. Cleary, born in Trenton, New Jersey, daughter of Charles and Margaret (Kelly) Cleary, both natives of Ireland, the former coming to America when a young man, being engaged as an iron worker in Hewett's Mills, in Trenton, New Jersey, where he died in 1888, at the age of sixty-one years. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Henry Gallagher have one child, Helen, born in Trenton, New Jersey, 1894, at present attending the State Model School in that city.
