WILLIAM A. GALLAHER, farmer; P. O. Monroe; was born in Turtle Creek Township, Warren Co., Ohio, March 8, 1818; he is the son of John and Elizabeth (Nye) Gallaher, the former a native of Pennsylvania of Irish descent, and the latter a native of Rockingham Co., Va., of German descent. A biography of the father appears elsewhere in this work. Our subject was brought up as a farmer and has since been engaged in that occupation; he was married Sept. 15, 1846, to Caroline, daughter of John Young, of Turtle Creek Township. They had three children, viz., John Franklin, Horace Q. and Lizzie M.; his children have all had the best educational advantages offered by the schools of Cincinnati, Oxford and Lebanon. Mr. G. is a Republican in politics, and, with his estimable wife, is a member of the M. E. Church; he has a handsome residence and 340 acres of well-improved land; his close attention to the minute details of his farm operations is fully attested by the neat and tidy appearance of his premises. Everything is in the best of order and all arranged for the greatest convenience of the residents. Truly, Mr. G. is a model farmer; his eldest son, John F., was born in this county Aug. 27, 1849, and, on the 11th of February, 1873, married Clara A., daughter of George and Harriet (Keever) Longstreet, and to them have been born Eva C., Birdie H., Lizzie K. and William L. He owns and occupies 200 acres of land adjoining his father’s tract. Of the other son and daughter, Horace Q. is living with his parents, and Lizzie M. is the wife of L. D. Parker, a merchant of Piqua, Ohio.
