Clyde Galloway -
Bolivia
Clyde Galloway,
92, of 320 Galloway Road, Bolivia, North Carolina, died
Wednesday, November 7, 2012 at home after a lengthy
illness.
Mr. Galloway was
born January 6, 1920 to the late Frank E. and Annie
Maultsby Galloway. He was the grandson of Franklin and
Sarah Dew Galloway and CSA Captain Samuel W. and Betty
Powell Maultsby. Mr. Galloway was a farmer all of his
life and an avid hunter. He always had epic stories to
tell involving deer, bear, coon, and quail hunting in
and around the Green Swamp. Although retired, he still
continued to grow a large garden up until his recent
illness. It was a rare sight for Mr. Galloway not to be
seen working his garden. He was the last of the Galloway
family to have grown rice, worked naval stores, and to
run the family gristmill. Mr. Galloway was a loving
husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather, as
well as a lifelong resident of Brunswick County. He was
preceded in death by his brothers Adrian, Arthur, Carl,
and Marvin Galloway; sisters Mae Galloway Atkinson,
Agnes Galloway Garner, Ora Galloway McKeithan, Olive
Galloway Vogt, Dixie Galloway Barracliff, and Margie
Galloway Tharpe.
Survivors include his wife of 54 years, Maggie Aileen
Galloway of the home; daughter Eloise Causey and husband
Burnice of Shallotte; sons Clyde Alan Galloway of
Raleigh and Franklin Earl Galloway of Bolivia;
grandchildren Joseph Causey and wife Lisa of Leland and
April Trull and husband Mark of Bolivia; great
grandchildren Christopher and Patrick Evans and Nicholas
and Carleigh Causey. He is also survived by one sister
Wilma Galloway McVey of New Jersey and numerous nieces
and nephews.
Funeral services will be conducted by Reverend Anthony
Clemmons at 2:00 pm Saturday, November 10, 2012 at Mt.
Olive Baptist Church, Galloway Road, Bolivia. Burial
will follow in the Galloway Family Cemetery on the
family farm in Bolivia. Visitation will be from 6:00 to
