"MON VUE" There were a number of old homes built by the Gallaway family. One of the best known was Mon Vue, (French for "My View"). This old brick house sat on a wooded eminence facing the driveway and the river. There was a small front porch and also a side porch. One entered a long wide hall where there was often dancing in the old days. In the living room and dining room there were silk brocade curtains as well as valuable old furniture. Of the five upstairs rooms, one was a family living room. In the four bed rooms, the tester beds were so high that each required a step ladder. Curtains around the bed were low, so that when they were drawn the occupant of the bed was entirely concealed. The father of this family was Thomas Spraggins Galloway. His daughters were Sallie, Lucinda, and Laura. As their mother died when the children were young, Miss Sallie was never married but became a second mother to her brothers and sisters, to nieces and nephews, and then to great nieces Eda and Mildred Cunningham. Lucinda married Dr. A. B. Johns of Leaksville, N.C. Laura married Colonel John Cunningham who lived near Milton, N.C. The three sons, John, Tom and Alex all fought for the Confederacy and all became Colonels.
