MRS. LAURA FOARD GALLOWAY – The good lady was called to her rest on the 31st day of January, 1929. She was born October 25th, 1846, the daughter of Major R. W. Foard and Mrs. Maria P. Foard, his wife; and was married to the late Alexander Broadnax Galloway December 4, 1866. For many years they made their home in Elkin, and will be long remembered there… . The beautiful chapel built by Mrs. Galloway after her husband’s departure, the Galloway Memorial, was an expression of her devotion to his memory – but her own beautiful and unselfish devotion to all good works, her kindness, her generosity, her humble dependence on her Lord and Master, her love and goodness to all with whom she came in contact, were a better testimony to what they had been to each other, than any material memorial could be. It is a pleasure mixed with a thankful appreciation of many kindnesses received which inspires this testimonial from one who thanks God for such characters, and the privilege he enjoyed in calling them his friends.
