Salinda Galloway

Notes:

There is an oval format, quarter length, photograph of Salinda Galloway aged about fifty in the possession of Lewis Adair Payne (1997). It would have been taken in about 1885 and passed to Lewis via his grandmother Mary Evelyn Mounts and his Aunt Pearl. On the reverse is the inscription "My grandmother, Salinda Galloway McCoy."

Pearl Gentry (later Hall) wrote on the back. Her children have another larger picture of Salinda.

Ken Harvey said that Salinda married second a McCoy, and they had a son James F. McCoy. Jim was a 33rd degree Free Mason who was a Post Master in Wichita, Kansas. Mary Evelyn Mounts had a very high opinion of him and used to refer to him as "Brother Jim." He was evidently very popular. His children were Carl, Frank and Mary McCoy. Mary might have married a Mr. Cross.

Salinda married William J. Mounts after 1853. William was born on 30 Aug 1832 in Virginia; died in in Arkansas City, Cowley County, Kansas; was buried on 5 Jun 1905 in Mt. Hope Cemetery, Arkansas City, Cowley County, Kansas. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
