He was a member of the ME Church and was for many years leader of the choir, being one of the sweetest singers ever in Crawfordsville. Mr. G. had a beautiful tenor voice and about 20 years ago the Crawfordsville quintette composed of MH and BV Galey, Harry Morgan, Milo Seman and Tip Wade was known all over the state.
