MOHAWK Alden S. Gallogly Al, age 81, passed away peacefully on Wednesday evening, March 14, 2012 in Little Falls Hospital. He was born on August 23, 1930 in Cowan, West Virginia, son of the late Elza and Florence Moffatt Gallogly. Al was raised and educated in West Virginia Public Schools. After completing his education he moved to the Mohawk Valley where he went to work for the Standard Furniture Company in Herkimer. When the Korean War broke he left the Standard and joined the US Army. He served proudly and was honorably discharged on February 17, 1953, attaining the rank of Corporal. Upon returning home from the war he went to work as a tool cutter, wood stock finisher and a cutter grind for the Remington Arms Company in Ilion. He retired in 1990. On May 26, 1951 he was united in marriage with the former Edith Thompson in the Herkimer United Methodist Church. The Reverend Fred Cotnam officiated. Being married for nearly sixty-two years, Al and Edith first made their home in Fort Herkimer until 1999 when they moved to the village of Mohawk and have remained there since.
