Edmond Charles Gallery was the fifth and youngest child of Patrick L. and Johanna "McGrath" Gallery. He was born 23 Aug 1865 at Longmeadow, near Springfield, Massachusetts. He moved to Iowa with his family when he was a little more than a year old. He married Alice Larkin on February 20 1895
Alice Larkin (1868-1942) was the only child (a red head) of Edward and Bridgett (Delia) "Ryan" Larkin. Edward was a native of New York. Bridgett was from Louth County, Ireland. They were married in Chicago in 1853. Alice was born in Chicago on July 8, 1874 and came with her widowed mother to Iowa when she was a small child. Her father, a Civil War veteran, a native of New York and a carpenter by trade, passed away at Flint Michigan, March 3, 1875. Alice was a school teacher in the schools of Delaware and Buchanan counties before her marriage to Edmond.
Edmond and Alice lived for many years on the farm where their son Francis later raised his family.
After retiring from farming they moved to Waterloo where Edmond died on March 13, 1931.
In the History of Buchanan County, it is recorded that Edmond Gallery owned a farm of 127 acres on section 34, Fremont Township, and another tract of 140 acres.
In her later years, Alice lived with her children. Alice spent Christmas of 1941 with her son Francis and his family on the old farm place. Then she took the train to Evanston,Illinois, arriving there Monday, December 28, 1941. On Saturday night, January 3, 1942 they both got into Jo's double bed. Later, Jo told a family member that they lied awake and talked for awhile and finally drifted off to sleep. When Jo woke the next morning she found that her mother had died during the night.
Alice's son,Francis went from Masonville, Iowa and he and his sisters, Jo and Alice, returned the body to the farm. She was buried beside her husband at St. Mary's Cemetary at Masonville on Wednesday, January 7th, 1942. Of their nine children, three died in tragic accidents.
