Anna Laura Wilder, Homer
h o u s e w i f e , has been named
head of the selection committee
to seek a replacement for Dr.
Edgar Galloway, director of
Confederate Memorial Medical
Center.
She was one of 11 committee
chairmen announced yesterday
by Harold K. Quinn, head of the
Confederate Board of Directors.
The board approved Gallo-way's
resignation at an Aug_. 25
meeting. In his letter to Quinn,
Galloway, who is 78, said he felt
he was still m e n t a l l y and
Physically capable of being the
director but offered to step down
if the board wanted him to.
On a 6-4 vote the board agreed
to Galloway's resignation, but.
asked him to stay until another
director could be found.
Galloway's job is a political
appointment. This is not the
first time he has been removed
following the election of a new

selects the hospital director,
but the governor picks the
board.)

administration of Gov. Jimmie
H. Davis from 1944 to 1948, but

him with Dr. W. S. Harmon in
1948 and again in 1956. Galloway
was reappointed again in 1961
and has served continuously
until now.
He also served a two year
stint from 1954 to 1956 when he
replaced Dr. C. S. Sentell of
Minden who resigned.

Talbot was named vice chair-man
of the selection committee.
