Patrick Gallaher Answers Death's Call
Old Resident Passes Away After Lingering Illness
The death of Patrick Gallaher occurred at his home west of town at 11 o'clock Sunday night, Bright's disease together with the system being weakened by old age being the cause. The funeral was held Tuesday at 2 o'clock P.M., at the M.E. church, Rev. D. Bruce, a former pastor of the church, officiating. The remains were laid at rest in the local cemetery.
The deceased was born Jan. 10, 1844 at St. Johns, New Brunswick. At the age of fifteen he was taken with the family to what was then the wilderness of Wisconsin. In the year 1863, at eighteen years of age, he enlisted in the Union Army, and served with credit to himself until the end of the war. In 1869 he was united in marriage at Waverly, Iowa, to Evey Vandeveer, and in the early years of their marriage they moved to Minnesota. Thirteen children were born to this union, ten of which and the wife live to mourn his loss. In 1902 the family moved to this community and have resided here continuously since, the deceased being one of the first to the new rush of settlers to take up homestead.
Also Mr. Gallaher was a member of no church, he exemplified, by an honorable life, the teachings of the golden rule, he was a man who met every situation and condition with a joke, was of a kind, generous disposition and was very loyal to his friends of which he had many, this fact being attested to by the larger number who gathered at the church to pay their last tribute to the departed.
We join in extending condolence to the bereaved family.
