Individual:
Elizabeth was born in Keokuk , Iowa. According to St. Peter's Catholic Church records of Keokuk, Elizabeth was born November 28, 1864 and baptized on December 6, 1864.
After the death of her father, Michael McCarthy, Elizabeth, her mother, and brother moved to Waverly, Minnesota. They moved in with Mary's bachelor brother, Patrick Bannon in 1874. Edward and Elizabeth attended school in Montrose. Later Mary and Elizabeth moved to Minneapolis and Elizabeth was employed as an apprentice seamstress.
Elizabeth married Thomas Galvin and they bought Patrick Bannon's farm in 1882. In 1883, when a section of railroad land grant was divided for sale, Thomas and Elizabeth purchased an additional 20 acres and in 1899 purchased a portion (45 acres) of the Dennis Galvin farm. In 1902 they moved the original Dennis Galvin house to the farm where it stood until it was demolished in 1991.
Patrick Bannon lived with Thomas and Elizabeth for awhile and later retired to Minneapolis where he died. He is buried in St. Mary's cemetery in Waverly. His last will bequethed his property to his sisters in Ireland and Thomas and Elizabeth Galvin remitted the remaining farm payments to them in Ireland.
At the age of 54, Thomas Galvin died of pneumonia on March 5, 1914 (the same day as his father died). Elizabeth sold the farm to Leonard Galvin in 1927 and retired to the town of Waverly, across the street from the church.
On May 30, 1942, she was stricken with a heart attack while marching in the Memorial Day Parade in Waverly. She died that day at the age of 78. She is buried in the St. Mary's Cemetery in Waverly.
ELIZABETH GALVIN (Obituary from Waverly Star June 4, 1942)
Rites For Mrs. E. Galvin Were Held Tuesday Morning
Dies Suddenly on Memorial Day
It was a severe shock to the people of this community when the news was passed around that Mrs. Elizabeth Galvin had died quite suddenly on Memorial Day.
Mrs. Galvin was apparently feeling quite well as just a short while before her death had walked to the lumber office to march with the Womans Auxilliary in the Memorial Day parade to the program at the park. She had gone only two blocks when she left the parade and went to the Mrs. Beuhl home, where she passed away a short while later.
Elizabeth McCarthy was born at Keokuk, Iowa on November 22, 1864. At the age of eight years she came to Minnesota. On November 20, 1882 she was united in marriage to Mr. Thomas Galvin and they lived on a farm in Marysvile. There were nine children born to this union. The children are: Mrs. John DeFoe, (Mary) of Swanville, Mrs. Floyd Baker, (Catherine) of Anoka, Mother Eucharista, (Margaret) of St. Catherine's College, St. Paul, Mrs. James Dunleavy, (Alice) of Maple Lake, Ray of Menagha, Minn, Frank of St. Paul, George of St. Michael, Thomas and Leonard of Waverly. Twenty six grand children and
seven great grand children also survive.
Mrs. Galvin was as good a woman as ever lived. She was just and kind to everyone and she followed the paths that led upward. Her aims, her conversation, her mind, were elevating. She ws not afraid to die, and when the end came, she was prepared and went gladly. She had the courage that comes from righteousness.
