Agency: Jackson County
Position: Deputy Marshal
Comments: In 1895, as Deputy Marshal Gallagher and two other officers were attempting to serve warrants to two burglary suspects, one of the men shot Gallagher in the chest. Gallagher spent more than a year recovering, but the bullet was never removed. He rejoined the department in 1897. In 1903, he contracted a cold, which permanently affected his lungs, where the bullet remained. In 1908, at the age of 43, he succumbed to his injuries.
