Son of John Owen and Sarah Loretta (Lincoln) Gallagher. Brother of William A., James Louis, Mary Caroline (Wilson), Mabel Elvira (Mitchell), Nettie Frieda (Sass Howe Fourneia) and George Washington Gallagher.

Fred suffered the loss of both legs under a railroad freight car when he was just 9 years old. If you have time please read the yellowed newsclippings in the "view all images" link.

I have many letters that Fred wrote to his widowed sister-in-law (my paternal grandmother) in the 1940's. Despite his physical handicap I think he must have been a fun loving person.
