born August 25,1870 in Austin Township, Mecosta Cty, MI, d: October

been Louisa. She was crippled with polio yet still did all her
own milking and chores. She also raised Persian cats in Grand
Rapids. While young she married George Gallagher probably in Staples,
MN. Nothing is known of this marriage except that it ended. She
and George had one 
daughter:
Lottie Gallagher born about 1886 probably in Staples, died December 30, 1896. She had polio also and died as the result of a dog bite at age ten. She is buried in an unmarked grave next to her mother. Judging from the many pictures taken of this child she was a great favorite in the family particularly with her aunt, Sadie. See photo on right.
Emily married again in 1894 in Grand Rapids, Itasca Cty, MN to William Sherman Kingston b: 1867in Wisconsin.
