General Notes: Husband - John S. Galley

---

He attended the academy at Pleasant Valley, Pennsylvania, then took one term at Hiram College, and boarded with the father of Mrs. James A. Garfield. In 1864 he enlisted in the Sixth Pennsylvania Heavy Artillery, and served with the army of the Potomac until the close of the war. When the contest was ended he returned to Fay-ette County.
He and his wife began their wedded life in Library, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, where Mr. Galley conducted a store for two years; then they lived on a farm in Iowa for three years. At the end of that time he came to Washington County, Pennsylvania, and bought 115 acres of land in Peters township, underlaid with a fine coal vein. He conducted a small dairy. In politics he was a Republican until the origin of the Prohibition party in 1890; thereafter he cast his vote for the overthrow of the whisky traffic. In religion he was a member and elder of the Church of Christ, of Peters Creek.
