Notes - JAMES W. GALLAGHER, farmer, Section 32, P. O. Glenwood; came to Kansas in the fall of 1861 and farmed four years in Douglas County; also did some missionary work as a Union Baptist minister. He then moved his family to Saline County, Mo., in the fall of 1864. He was away from home, in Osage County, at the time of the Price raid, and escaped capture by hiding in brush three days with a furloughed soldier from Indianapolis named Campbell. He then moved his family back to Douglas County, Kan., December 25, of the same year. Farmed here two years, and then engaged in teaming at Pleasant Hill, Mo., for three months. The next three years, was employed in clearing and improving a farm near Sarcoxieville, Kan., and in preaching to three congregations. He then moved to Shawnee Township, where he has been engaged in tilling and improving his farm and preaching on Sunday ever since. In 1878, he lost four children, three boys and one girl, with typhoid malarial fever. Aside from this sad misfortune, his work has been pleasant and profitable in the State of Kansas.
He was born in Alton, Ill., October 14, 1840, son of Peter B. and Lydia Gallagher. He moved with his parents at an early age to Osage County, Mo., and shortly afterward to Pettis County, Mo., where he was raised on a farm until 1859; then moved to Saline County, and from there, in 1861, to Kansas. He was married, in Douglas County Kan., December 8, 1861, to Virginia A. Carey, a native of Virginia, and daughter of Newton and Nancy Carey. They have four children living - Henry Leander, Emma F., Charlie and Peter. Mr. G. was ordained a minister of the Union Baptist Church in the spring of 1868, in Wyandotte County, and while supporting himself and family, principally by the labors of his own hands, he has devoted much time and labor in proclaiming the Word through the borders of Missouri and Kansas, and his labors have been fruitful and of much good.
