      Isaac R. Galloway, of Wesley (Mechanicsville), Irwin township, father of Mrs. Hiram C. Foster, was born Oct. 11, 1844, in Mercer county, Pa., son of Thomas and Sarah (Ghost) Galloway. Thomas Galloway was seventeen years old when he came from Ireland to the United States, where three of his brothers, William, John and Isaac, were already settled, in Mercer and Venango counties. Pa. For fifteen years he was a farmer and merchant at Mechanicsville, Venango county, before and during the Civil war. having settled in this vicinity about 1851, on the farm now occupied by his son Isaac. After his sons left home he removed to the town and kept store, speiiJing the remainder of his life there and dying at the age of seventy- eight years. Though he had but seventeen cents at the time of his arrival in this country Thomas Galloway became a very prosperous man. His first purchase of land consisted of two hundred acres in Mercer county, which by his industry was converted into a good farm. He sold it to remove to Irwin township, Venango county, where the water was better, and though considerable of his property here was new land he transformed it into a valuable farm. He became an influential resident of this locality, serving many years as a justice of the peace. Politically he was a Democrat, in religious connection a. member of the M. E. Church at Pleasant View, one mile north of his home, where he is buried. Mr. Galloway married Sarah Ghost, a sister of Philip Ghost, of the southern part of Irwin township, and she survived him, reaching a more advanced age. Mr. and Mrs. Galloway became the parents of three sons and one daughter, namely: Craft C. lived on what is now the Fred Hovis farm in Irwin township and died there when he was past sixty years of age; Isaac R. is mentioned below ; John, who obtained a farm adjoining the home place, is now living retired at Barkeyville; Ellen is the wife of Walter Eakins, of Grove City. Thomas Galloway gave a farm to each of his three sons, two receiving parts of the home place and the other a tract two miles distant, while the daughter was given one near Pearl, this county.

      Isaac R. Galloway inherited all of his father's home place, now having one hundred acres just south of Mechanicsville, as he added to his original holding. It is highly improved and has substantial buildings, Mr. Galloway having erected the present house in 1890 and the barn in 1904, and there is a good vein of coal beneath which he has worked to some extent. He also owns a farm in the Bullion oil field, which yields him considerable royalty from its producing wells. For three or four years, during the oil excitement, Mr. Galloway kept a store at Parker, but farming has been his principal occupation. He has been a public-spirited citizen and has served as constable and in other township offices. In political principle he is a Prohibitionist. His religious connection is with the M. E. Church at Mechanicsville, in which he holds the position of class leader.
      On March 14, 1870, Mr. Galloway was married to Mary Jane Bonner. daughter of Archibald Bonner and sister of Harvey Bonner, of Irwin township, and they have had three children, namely: Susann Cyrene is the wife of John Eakins, a lumber manufacturer, of Harrisville, Butler Co., Pa.; Sarah Ellen is the wife of Hiram Clinton Foster; John A1- vin, who lives on the home farm, married Clara Adams and has three children, Eugene Isaac, Mildred Catherine and Forrest Allen.
