General Notes: Husband - John Fulton Gallaway

---

He attended school in Venango County, PA, after which he en­gaged in farming and clerked in the store conducted by his father. He purchased eighty-five acres of land one-half mile south of Wesley P. O. He went from there to Callery Junction during the oil excitement and teamed, having three teams. These he traded for a store and stock of merchan­dise at Barkeyville, Venango County, pay­ing the difference in value in cash. He went from there to Mechanicsville, where he rented the Woods property for one year, then purchased that farm. He later traded that farm for sixty-five acres of land located about two miles north of Harrisville, in Butler County, and carried on general farming until the marriage of his son, Walter, when he left the farm in the latter's charge. He then returned to Me­chanicsville, and after a time sold his prop­erty to Robert B. Eakin and moved to Richland Township, Butler County, where he purchased fifty acres of coal land. He later came to Hilliard and in competition with others obtained the contract for the Star Mail Route from Hilliard to Petrolia. When the rural free delivery was estab­lished he was given Route No. 52, over which he carried the mail for two years and three months. He then purchased the hotel at Hilliard. Religiously, he and his family were members of the M. E. Church. Politi­cally, Mr. Galloway was a Prohibitionist. [HBC 1909, 1436]

He obtained a farm adjoining the home place, and in 1919 was living retired at Barkeyville, Venango Co, PA.
