General Notes: Husband - Ferguson W. Gallagher


He was born on his father's homestead in Muddy Creek township, Butler county, PA. He received a good education and followed teaching until 1861. In August of that year he enlisted in Company G, One Hundred and Thirty-fourth Pennsylvania Volunteers, and served until discharged because of physical disability. Returning to his home he engaged in huckstering, which business he followed for some years, then purchased a farm adjoining his later homestead, on which he resided until 1882. In that year he bought a farm of 111 acres and located upon it, where he thereafter lived. Politi­cally, he was a Republican, and held the offices of overseer and collector. He was a member of John H. Randolph Post, G. A. R., and was secretary of the United Presbyterian church of Prospect, in which he has also held the office of trustee.
