Mrs. J. B. Galarneault Dies Tuesday; Suffered Stroke

SISTER'S DEATH IN SPRING WEIGHED HEAVILY UPON HER BOTH WOMEN WERE OFFICERS OF NATIONAL BANK OF AITKIN – HAD REMARABLY IMPRESSIVE PERSONALITY.

The very sudden death of Mrs. J. B. Galarneault occurred Tuesday morning, following an apoplectic stroke suffered Monday noon. Preceding this illness, Mrs. Galarneault had been in fairly good health, although she had some ailments for years. She was found in an semi-conscious condition on the porch of her home Monday by Mr. Galarneault and their son, John when they came home to dinner. During the morning she had accomplished usual household duties, and the noon-day meal was nearly prepared when Mrs. Galarneault became ill.

Mrs. Galarneault's passing follows closely upon that of her sister, Miss Nan Toan, late cashier of the National Bank of Aitkin, of which institution Mrs. Galarneault was one of the directors. Miss Toan's death weighed heavily upon Mrs. Galarneault. Mrs. Galarneault's death means the beaking up of one of the strongest home centers in Aitkin, and her sudden passing is the keenest blow that could have come to her husband and son. Companionable and home-loving the Galarneault family has comprised a contented and happy little circle of which Miss Toan was also a cherished member during the years she made her home with them.

Mrs. Galarneault came to Aitkin in 1895, when Mr. Galarneault engaged in the banking business here. They had been married two years before on February 14, 1893, at Helena, Montana, and for two years they resided at Sauk Rapids in this state, Mr. Galarneault being at that time auditor of Benton county.

Preceding her marriage, Mrs. Galarneault had been a very efficient teacher in public schools. She entered the profession at fourteen, continuing her education both in high school and at the University of Michigan at later periods. During all of her lifetime, Mrs. Galarneault was a profound student, reading extensively and maintaining exceptional interest in many lines of thought. She was for many years one of the leaders in the North Side Study club, until unfavorable health necessitated her giving up activities.

Mrs. Galarneault's birthplace was Lyons, Mich., in which city her father was a prominent attorney, his reputation for ability extending throughout the state. The home life of the Toan family was cultivated and pleasant, and Mrs. Galarneault carried throughout her life the serenity of that influence. There were four sisters,  only one of whom now survives. This is Mrs. Fred H. Knox  of Portland, Mich. Both parents died quite a number of years ago, the mother at St. Paul when the Galarneault family resided there for several years while Mr. Galarneault was connected with a St. Paul bank. Mr. Toan died in Michigan previously, and a little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Galarneault, Isabel, also is dead, the child passing on when but eight months of age, shortly after the family came here to reside.

Mrs. Galarneault was 57 years of age on April 20 of this year.

Funeral services will be held at the old home at Lyons, Mich., probably Friday, Mr. Galarneault and John, who left here yesterday morning with the body, will reach that place Thursday afternoon. The old home has been left untenanted since Mr. and Mrs. Toan died, and still is just as they maintained it.

Mr. Galarneault and John have the sympathy of the Aitkin community and vicinity in their deep sorrow.
