Mrs. Galbraith's maiden name was
Sarah Frances Damery. She was born
in Cork county, Ireland, September
29, 1836. She came to America in 1844
and spent her girlhood days in and
near Hartford, Conn. She was married
to Alexander Galbraith in Hartford
on February 17, 1864 and they
came to Cedar county, Iowa, where
they resided until the spring of 1871,
when they moved to Sac county. They,
moved to their home in Douglas township
in 1884, residing there until the
fall of 1902, when they moved to Sac
City, where they have since lived.
To Mr. and Mrs.Galbraith were born
seven children, namely: William A.,
a resident of Sac City: Geo. II, whose
home is in Calhoun county near Fonda:
Lena, wife of W. L. Cole of Douglas
township; Frank E., who resides in
Douglas township: Charles W., a resident
of Whittier. Cal.; Rutherford
B., whose home is at Newell: and
Bessie, wife of D. H. Waters of Delaware
township. All of the children
were present at the time of their
mother's death but Charles, whose
home was too far away. Besides her
husband and the children, Mrs. Galbraith
is survived by eighteen grandchildren
and two great grandchildren.
She was a charter member of the
First Presbyterian church at Sac City
and was also a member of the Rebekah
lodge. These simple facts do not
tell all the story of this good woman's
life. She endured the foil and privations
of Sac county's pioneer days,
and did her part in establishing a
home and providing for her glowing
family. Her devotion to her family
did not present her from lending a
helpful hand to neighbors in time of j
sickness or other need. Her more
than four score years were well spent
and she passed to her reward
quickly with but little suffering.
