His second wife died January 27, 1892.  Andrew J. Galloway died Aug. 16, 1899, aged 71 years, 2 months and 19 days. He was a kind father, a good citizen, and obliging neighbor, ever ready to assist the needy; honest in every sense of the word. He said he died in peace to all men. We thank the neighbors for their kindness in his long and painful illness. -kbz
