	Notes: James Gallagher, Cloghfin, labourer, son of Denis, labourer, married Mary Anne Molloy, Legnaneale, dau of Edward, labourer, 29 Jun 1878. Witnesses Hugh Gallagher and Anne McBrearty William b 8 Jun 1895 died during WW1 : Donegal News 20 May 1916 Gort Soldier's Death The sad and painful news has been conveyed to Mr James Gallagher, Gort, Clonleigh, that his son, Private William Gallagher, Iniskilling Fusiliers, has died in hospital from the effects of gas poisoning and wounds. About a year ago, Private Gallagher, who was a prominent member of the Clonleigh National Volunteers, joined the colours. Of splendid physique and build, he made a fine soldier, and was a splendid athlete. The deceased was popular in the beighbourhood, and his genial and kindly manner won for him hosts of friends. That his death was a happy and holy one can be seen from the following letter from Captain D Hamill Morton to Private Gallagher's mother :- "Dear Mrs Gallagher - I am writing to you sad news about your son William. He died of gas poisoning and wounds in hospital after having received the last rites of the Catholic Church. It may console you to know that he was wounded doing his duty like a true Irishman. I have known him for more than ten months, and always found him an excellent soldier. I may say that he was very much liked by all his comrades. Please accept my sincere sympathy for you in the the loss of your dear son."
