Notes

From 20th Century History of Butler and Butler County, Pa., and representative citizens by James A McKee (1909); Pages 1435-1436
JOHN FULTON GALLAWAY, a well-known citizen and substantial business man of Hilliard, Butler County, Pennsylvania, is proprietor of the hotel at that village and has a well-established business. He was born in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, April 8, 1849, and is a son of Thomas and Sarah (Ghost) Gallaway and a grandson of William Gallaway.

Thomas Gallaway was born in Ireland and was one of the following children born to his parents: William; John; Thomas; Isaac, who married Eliza Kohlter, daughter of John Kohlter of Mercer County; and Eliza, deceased. Thomas came to the United States at the age of seventeen years and landed at New York City with just seventy-five cents in his pocket. He received employment at blasting rock in the construction of the Erie Canal, and then worked for a distiller in New York State. He was an industrious man, and of a frugal and saving disposition, and while thus employed accumulated enough money to purchase a farm of 150 acres in Mercer County, Pennsylvania. It was a heavily timbered tract, but little of the land having been cleared. He cleared the farm and lived upon it for a time, then purchased the Ross tract of land, consisting of 300 acres, on which he engaged in stock raising on an extensive scale. He at the same time carried on a general store at Mechanicsville, in Venango County. He married there to Sarah Ghost, a daughter of Philip Ghost, of Venango County, and they reared the following children: Craft, who married Mary Ellen Atwell, a daughter of John Atwell of Mercer County, and has three children,-Thomas, Clyde and Elizabeth; Isaac, who married Mary Jane Bonner, a daughter of Archie Bonner of Venango County, by whom he has one son and two daughters,-John, Elizabeth and Susan; John F., whose name heads this sketch; Ann Elizabeth, deceased; Mary, deceased; Lytle, deceased; and Martha, deceased.

John Fulton Gallaway attended school in Venango County, after which he engaged in farming and clerked in the store conducted by his father. He purchased eighty-five acres of land one-half mile south of Westley P. O. He went from there to Callery Junction during the oil excitement and teamed, having three teams. These he traded for a store and stock of merchandise at Barkeyville, Venango County, paying the difference in value in cash. He went from there to Mechanicsville, where he rented the Woods property for one year, then purchased that farm. He later traded that farm for sixty-five acres of land located about two miles north of Harrisville, in Butler County, and carried on general farming until the marriage of his son, Walter, when he left the farm in the latter 's charge. He then returned to Mechanicsville, and after a time sold his property to Robert B. Eakin and moved to Richland Township, Butler County, where he purchased fifty acres of coal land. He later came to Hilliard and in competition with others obtained the contract for the Star Mail Route from Hilliard to Petrolia. When the rural free delivery was established he was given Route No. 52, over which he carried the mail for two years and three months. He then purchased the hotel at Hilliard, which he has since conducted with uninterrupted success.
Mr. Gallaway was united in marriage with Miss Caroline Hoffman, daughter of Walter Hoffman of Venango County, and they have four children: Thomas, who married Emma Syrena, daughter of Finley Syrena, and has three children-Ralph, Raymond and Leonard; Walter, who married Blanche Syrena, a daughter of John Syrena; Mary, who married John A. Blair, son of A. N. Blair, and has three children- Marie, John Freeman and Edna; and Ida. who married J. S. Kohlmyre, son , of Marion Kohlmyre of Butler County, and has one child, Althica. Religiously, they are members of the M. E. Church. Politically, Mr. Gallaway is a Prohibitionist.
