FAMILY NOTES

General: Dates of birth, death and marriage are from his father’s and his own Family
Bible records, a copy of which is in my files. He was a prominent circuit
Methodist minister in the Texas hill country. Family information is contained in
an unpublished paper titled “Original Research and Compiled by Samuel Edwin
McCLendon, 2536 Nashville Ave., New New Orleans 15, Louisiana,” undated
(probably 1952). p. 13.
DEATH: Tombstone recorded in Bosque County Texas
Cemetery Records Vol II, p. 408. The Oak Grove Cemetery is located south of
Walnut Springs, a few hundred yards east of 433, at the junction of S.R. 144 and
the Iredell road S.R. 927. Robert’s grave is marked by a medium size marker. It
says Rev. R.V. Gallaway and M.A. Gallaway. Dates are as shown on group sheet.
Served as a soldier in the Civil War as a Confederate from Texas and was wounded
in the hip at the battle of Lookout Mtn (Chickamauga), TN. Sue Norman relates
that he went to Kosciusko where his half-brother, Dr. George W. Gallaway
practiced medicine. G.W. operated on his hip and perhaps saved his live. Sue
reports that he walked with a limp thereafter.

Played professional baseball one season with the St. Louis “Nationals”. See
Encyclopedia of Baseball. Baseball. His baseball alias was “Bad News” Gallaway.
One source says he died 3 May 1950 vice 5 May.
Sue Norman wrote me in April 1994, about a year before he death, “I do have some
photos of Uncle Jim from his baseball career. It is difficult to talk about
him, because he was always Jim and Uncle Jim in the family, went by the name
Catoe in Galloway in the sports world, and picked up the nickname “Bad News”
somewhere along the line. He was a dear gentle man. He went from player to
manager of several Texas league teams, and then was a TL umpire after retiring
from active play. I have thought seriously about donating what I have to the
Texas Baseball Hall of Fame, but I have not made up my mind I really want to
part with them. I don’t know what they already have about him. If they have
very little, I guess my duty is clear.”
