      Sudden Death of Mrs. J.J. Gallagher
      Active Worker in M.E. Church and Temperance Cause
      Born in Elkland Township and spent entire life in this community

      Mrs. John J. Gallager passed away very suddenly at her home on West Main St. Saturday evening at 9:45 o'clock shortly after retiring for the night. Mrs. Gallagher has been afflicted with heart trouble for several months, but her condition the past few weeks has been much better and Saturday she spent some time at the home of her sister, Mrs. D.C. Elliott, and did some shopping at local stores, one of her purchases being a birthday gift for one of her daughters. She retired for the night in her usual health.

      Louisa Krapf was born July 20, 1865, and has spent her entire life in this community. On Nov. 29, 1883, she was united in marriage with John J. Gallager and seven children came to bless their home. Two of them preceded the mother in death.

      Mrs. Gallagher has been a member of the M.E. church at Cass City for many years and has been an active worker in various organizations connected with the church, especially so in the Women's Home Missionary society. Mrs. Gallagher was greatly interested in W.C.T.U. work and was president of the local union. She was also a member of Venus Rebekah Lodge.

      The funeral was held at the M.E. church Wednesday afternoon, Rev. Cargo conducting the service. Burial was in Elkland cemetery.

      Besides her husband, she leaves two sons and three daughters, Fred GALLAGHER of Van Couver, B.C., Mrs. P.H. KNIGHT of Twining, the Misses Adeline and Lena GALLAGHER of Detroit and Albert GALLAGHER of Cass City; two brothers, G.E. KRAPF of Cass City and Wm. KRAPF of Hornersville, Mo., and three sisters, Mrs. D.C. ELLIOTT and Mrs. CUMMINGS, both of Cass City, and Mrs. Mary HILL of Hornersville, Mo.

      Relatives and friends from a distance who came to attend the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Percy H. KNIGHT of Twining, the Misses Adeline and Lena GALLAGER of Detroit, Herbert and Lorne GALLAGER of Shelburne, Ont., and Wm. KRAPF of Hornersville, Mo., Mrs. N.L.
