Galloway, Farm Implement Maker, Dies at Age 74

WATERLOO - William Galloway, 74, who built up a farm implement industry that grossed a total of 32,000,000 from a loan of $2,000, died in his sleep Monday afternoon at his home in Cedar Heights. Death apparently was due to a heart attack. Galloway had been in declining health since last June.

Termed one of the Midwest's "super salesmen." Galloway played a part in developing Waterloo and nearby Cedar Heights. He founded William Galloway & Sons and the Galloway Company, Inc., farm implement firms.

He was a promoter and guiding hand in the development of Cedarloo, a park area between Waterloo and Cedar Falls.

Survivors include four sons, three daughters, 16 grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
