Officer Thomas A. Gallagher, Chicago PD, died July 16, 1902, aged 32 years.
John F. Gallagher - Died Oct. 23, 1918 at the battle at Arracon, France, Co. C 123 - M. Gun, 33rd Division
Mary Flower Gallagher - Died Feb. 11, 1933
Tommie Gallagher - Died May ??? Age 2 years
This “tree” marker which marks the resting place of four family members has several distinctive symbols on it, including a police star with the number 350 (Thomas’ badge number), a baton and the type of hat that a patrolman might have worn around the turn of the century.
John was a casualty of World War I.
Tommie’s date of birth is nearly unreadable. I believe that Tommie is the son of Thomas. Mary Plower Gallagher is named as “mother”, but because her birth date is not available, it is unknown who’s mother she is... Thomas and John's or maybe Tommie's?
