Summary
James Gallagher (1893–1974) was described in a January 1975 obituary as born at St. James and resident in Newberry since 1915. His reported work included the Barrett Company, Newberry Chemical, and the Zagelmeier sawmill.
Evidence and limits
This is an episode-qualified obituary record. The newspaper does not provide a full civil identity, and this record is deliberately kept separate from other James Gallagher records until a source supplies an identity bridge. His own obituary gives a wife (Jessie), children (Phillip, Marie, Sally, Patricia), and a 1915 move to Newberry, none of which match James Gallagher (probably James H. Gallagher, 1883–1956, m. Katherine “Kitty” Allers), James W. “Young James” Gallagher (b. 1908, m. Teresa Boyle, remained on Beaver Island), or James Gallagher (steamer captain, floruit circa 1897–1907).
