James Hadwen Galloway, aged 80, superintendent of the Union and Burnsland cemeteries for the City of Calgary for 35 years before his retirement eight years ago, who had always said that he wanted to "go quietly", died in a chair at his home a few minutes after coming in from raking leaves in his garden Tuesday morning.
Born in Carlyle, Ontario, Mr. Galloway came to Calgary in 1884 with Rev. Leo Gaetz and family, later going with them to Red Deer, where he stayed for a short time before returning to Calgary. He resided at 601 Fifth avenue west.
A life member of the Bow River Masonic Lodge No. 1, A.F. and A.M., the Alberta Lodge No. 1, I.O.O.F., and the Southern Alberta Pioneers' and Oldtimers' Association, he had planned to attend the Oldtimers' annual re-union Thursday. He was also a member of Central United Church.
Mr. Galloway's wife died in Calgary in 1930, one daughter, Mrs. James Cunningham, died in July, 1941, and two sons, Howard and Victor, were killed on active service overseas in the First Great War.
A third son, William, died in 1920.
Surviving are two daughters, Mrs. J. D. Wright and Mrs. William Lawless, both in Calgary; two sons, Frank, at Royalties, and Wilfred, in Calgary; two sisters, Miss Annie E. Galloway, Toronto, and Mrs. George Morris, of Grimsby, Ontario; three brothers, Marshall, Toronto, Franklin, in London, Ont., and Benson, in Springfield, Ill.; 15 grandchildren and one great grandchild.
