Lee Jesse Galloway, 46, who since 1938 had operated the Galloway Chevrolet Sales here with his father, was killed instantly about 1 a.m. when his car failed to make a sharp curve on Ind. 55, 10 miles east of Newtown. Saturday Galloway and other car dealers, as a prize for selling a certain quota of used cars, had attended the Purdue-Indiana football game at Bloomington. That night a banquet was held for the winners in Indianapolis and it was from that banquet that Galloway was returning home.

He was a member of the Newtown Methodist Church, of the Masonic Lodge and of the Newtown Volunteer Fire Department. He was a 1927 graduate of the Newtown High School.
