Everyone will be pained to learn of the death of Milton H. Galey which occurred last night at his rooms in the Thomas block. He suffered from a paralytic stroke received Thursday night and never rallied, growing worse until death came to his relief. Milton H. Galey was distinctly a citizen of Crawfordsville and was known and respected by every old resident in the place. He was b. here in 1837 and lived in Crawfordsville all his life. When the war broke out he joined Gen. Wallace's 11th regt. and served in it. About 10 years ago he was marr. to Miss Fannie McClintock, at Chillicothe, Ohio. She died about 3 years ago, leaving one son, Scott, who survives his father also. Mr. G. was for years connected with his brother, BV Galey in the dental business, but was forced to retired from this several years ago by reason of failing health. 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. Galey 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. Its services were considered indispensible at all local entertainments and everywhere it was a toast. Mr. Galey was a good and honored citizen and his death is sincerely mourned by all who knew him. - kbz

The funeral services of M. H. Galey were conducted this morning at 10 o’clock at the residence of Geo. Hurley. Rev. H. A. Tucker, of the Methodist Church, was the minister in charge and his remarks were especially appropriate for the occasion. The Center Church choir was in attendance and sang three songs. The funeral was largely attended and the procession was headed by the band, the old Montgomery Guards in charge of Gen. Lew Wallace, and members of the A. O. U. W. The interment was made at Oak Hill Cemetery. The deceased had many warm friends in this city, who are left to mourn his death. – thanks so much to “S” – one great typist
