Biographical Note:
John Hubert Gallagher, Sr., was born 8 August 1875 in Carlton (Yamhill
County), Oregon. He entered Oregon Agricultural College in 1895, but
interrupted his education in May 1898 to enlist with the 2nd Oregon U.S.
Volunteers and fight in the Philippines during the Spanish American War.
Gallagher re-entered OAC in the Fall of 1899 and graduated in engineering in
1900.
Gallagher was the first secretary of the Alumni Association; served on
the Board of Directors for many years; and was founder and executive secretary
of the Golden Jubilee Association. He was active in the business and civic life
of Corvallis; organized and managed the Corvallis Sand and Gravel Company; and
was a consulting engineer for many Portland buildings and the Bonneville Dam.
Gallagher died 16 May 1961 in Corvallis.
This collection consists of photographs of Camp Adair; engineering
reports (with photographs) about Camp Adair, Camp White (Medford, Oregon), the
Corvallis Airport, and McNary Field (Salem, Oregon); and property appraisals of
two Corvallis Sand and Gravel Company sites.
