Obituary [1]
We regret to record the death of Mr. John Galloway, which took place on December 22nd, at his home in Seymour Grove, Old Trafford.
He was the son of the late Mr. William Galloway, of the firm of W. and J. Galloway, of the Knott Mill Ironworks.
Adopting the profession of an engineer, Mr. John Galloway in early life took an active part in the management and development of the works, and continued to be closely associated with the concern until a few years ago, when the business was formed into a company under the title of Galloways Limited.
Though seldom appearing on public platforms, Mr. Galloway, in conjunction with his wife, largely interested himself in philanthropic and charitable undertakings. He was a justice of the peace for the city of Manchester and the Hundred of Salford. He held the office of president of the Whalley Range Orphanage, and was a vice-president of the Manchester Royal Botanical and Horticultural Society. In politics Mr. Galloway was a Conservative.
He was appointed president of the South-West Manchester Conservative Association upon the formation of the division, and held that position up to the time of his death. The Conservative party in the Stratford Division, in which he resided, also found in him a zealous supporter. Mr. Galloway, who was in his seventy-first year, leaves a widow and one son, the present representative in Parliament of South-West Manchester.
