William Galloway,resident of Oregon for 68 years,died here last night at the home of his son Francis V. Galloway.He was 75 years old.
Judge Galloway had been in failing health since the death of his wife a year ago,and his passing was not entirely unexpected.He had gone to The Dalles last Monday.

YAMHILL SCHOOL TAUGHT
At the age of 16 Mr. Galloway was a bellboy for pack trains which blazed the rugged trails through Oregon,Idaho,and Montana,taking supplies to the mining camps of the mountain districts.
He entered Willamette University at the age of 19 and was graduated with the class of 1868.Following his schooling he returned to Yamhill county,where he taught school for several years and engaged in farming with an older brother,Frank V. Galloway.
In 1874 he married Miss Emma Baker in Yamhill county,and in 1876 he was elected to the lower branch of the state legislature,serving for three consecutive sessions as a representative for Yamhill county.
He quit farming in 1885 and in 1890 was elected county judge of Yamhill county.He did not run for re-election,but was the democratic candidate for govenor of Oregon in 1894,being defeated by William P. Lord,republican.
LAND RECEIVER OFFICE HELD
In 1896 he was appointed receiver of the land office at Oregon City and served under the government until 1903,when he returned to Yamhill county.
In 1904 Judge Galloway was elected circuit judge of the old third juducial district and was re-elected in 1910.He retired from active participation in public life after the completion of his second term as circuit judge.
During his early days in Yamhill county Judge Galloway owned warehouses at McMinnville and was one of the largest grain operators in that section of the state at that time.
Following the death of his wife a year ago last January,Judge Galloway went to Salem to live with his son,Charles V. Galloway,who was state tax commissioner until he resigned last October.
JUDGE COMES to PORTLAND
When the son moved to Portland,where he is now engaged in the banking business,Judge Galloway moved there and had been living at his son's home until he came to The Dalles to visit his other son last week.
Judge Galloway is survived by three children,Charles V. Galloway,Portland;Miss Zilpha V. Galloway,a medical student of Portland,and Francis V. Galloway,district attorney of Wasco county.Charles V. Galloway left for The Dalles last night.
Although funeral arrangements have not been completed,it is probable that the body will be sent to McMinnville,where services will be held near the early family home of the pioneer jurist.
