James was the son of William and Caroline (Wallace) Gallaher, born near Businessburg, Ohio. He married Alice Goodwin in 1884, Marshall Co, WV. Most of his life he lived near his brother, Thomas Maywood Gallaher, who was one year younger, and James's daughter wrote that they were always close in spirit.
James worked as a coal miner in Belmont County and later as a solderer in the enamel works of Strong Mfg. Co. James and Alice had one daughter, Anna Irene (Gallaher) Oyster, who is also buried in Grandview Cemetery.
Anna recorded Thomas's memories and printed them in a manuscript that was distributed among the family: Some Things I Remember. It told the boyhood stories of James and Thomas as they grew up in Mead Township, Belmont County, during the Civil War, as well as the joys and difficulties of making a living in the years that followed.
