The TALES you probably never heard about

PHILIP GALLAGHER

[Welland Telegraph, 11 September 1891]

Philip Gallagher, an old resident of this place, died at Tonawanda last Friday. Deceased was a veteran of the American war, and came here at the time of the enlargement of the canal, and had been a resident since. It was his custom, with his brother Dominic, to find employment out of town in the summer, returning in the fall and living here in the winter, which accounts for his being out of town. The remains were brought here for interment on Friday, and the funeral took place on Saturday morning from the R.C. church, of which deceased was a member.
