Wally - Thank you so much for your response to my query and the very helpful obituary. The information from this obit has confirmed that Henry James Galt was part of the issue of John R. Galt's first marriage to Amanda Mary Stroup. Henry J. was a half-brother to my grandfather, John Edward. Again, thank you for this information.
