William L. Galey died quite suddenly Wednesday morning at the home of his son, John Galey, in Highland. He had been an invalid for some time, suffering from organic trouble of the heart, but was able to get about a portion of the time. Wednesday he arose at his usual hour and his breakfast was taken to him in his room. He was left alone and when a member of the family entered shortly after Mr. Galey was found lying prone on the floor. He was alive but was unconscious. Dr. Barcus was called in, but the patient never rallied and died shortly after 10 o'clock. Mr. Galey was a brother of Mrs. George D. Hurley and B.V. Galey of this city. His wife died several years ago and his children are all grown. During the war he served as a gallant soldier in the 86th Indiana regiment. He was a kind hearted and excellent man, and stood high in the esteem of all who knew him. - kbz
