The following was published in an Austin Texas newspaper, in 1954 [specific date unknown]. Twins, Now 77, Say "Hard Work is Secret" "Attributing their long life to hare work, a couple, who are probably Travis County's oldest twins, Samuel Lee Gallimore and Mrs. Katherine Gallimore North, celebrated their 77th birthday Friday with a family reunion at the home of Mrs. North's son, C. W. North, 4612 Milburn Lane. The twins were born Jan. 2, 1877, in Travis County near Oak Hill. Both have lived [in] the County throughout their lives. Although America's "good old days" were filled with work for many pioneers, the Gallimore twins had even more toil than their share. Their father, N. W. Gallimore, died when they were 9 months old. Support for the twins and their older brother, Jesse, became the task of their mother. As soon as the youngsters could toddle, they were going with her to the fields and helping her do the farming chores. Mr. Gallimore followed the farming profession until only a few years ago when he retired to city living. He now lives with his wife at 410 East Seventh Street. Mrs. North married a farmer and all his life she was at his side tilling Travis County's soil. W. T. North, her husband, died four years ago. The twins' mother, Mrs. N. M. Gallimore, died in 1930 at the age of 84. Mrs. North has five children, C. W. North, 4612 Milburn Lane; Paul North, Los Angeles, , Calif; Mrs. J. B. Deavers of Houston; Mrs. Edwin Carlson of McAllen; and Mrs. Clyde Burch, 305 West Mary. All attended the birthday celebration except Paul. Mrs. North also has 10 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Mr. Gallimore has one Foster daughter, Mrs. Florence McCoy, who lives in Austin. Both Mr. Gallimore and Mrs. North are in good health, and they have remained close, as is the usual custom of twins, throughout their lives. They visit each other often and check on each other by telephone several times each week." ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: A picture of Samuel and Katherine accompanied the article.
