Jas. Fo Gallivan, S. Carolina
Leader, Dies cit Greenville
State Deputy of Knights of
Columbus One of Outstand
ing Citizens of State
(Special to The Bulletin)
GREENVILLE, S. C.—James F. Gal
livan, State Deputy of the Knights
of Columbus of South Carolina, one
of the leading laymen of the Caro-
linas and one of the most generous
benefactors of the Church in the Dio
cese of Charleston, died here Febru
ary 8, after an illness of less than a
week.
Mr. Gallivan was the founder and
head of the Gallivan Construction
Co., which erected some of the largest
manufacturing and other plants in
the Carolinas and also constructed
many of the highways in this section.
He was a native of Massachusetts,
where he was born November 9. 1863;
he came to South Carolina thirty-five
years ago and completely identified
himself with the interests of this sec
tion.
Surviving Mr. Gallivan are his wife.
Mrs. Susan Gallivan. his son. Harold
Gallivan, Greenville, his daughter.
Mrs. Louise Bannon. Mansfield. Mass.,
three sisters, Mrs. Mertin Twiss. Miss
Julia Gallivan and Miss Mary Galli-
van. New York City, and several
grandchildren.
Mr. Gallivan was an important fac
tor in the development of the Caro
linas as a textile section; he was a
director in many cotton mills not
only in this but in other states: he
was a director of the Southern
Bleachery and Print Works, the
Southern Weaving Company, the
Southeastern Life Insurance Co., and
the Liberty Life Insurance Co., a
trustee of the South Carolina Na
tional Bank, and active in many oth
er enterprises. He was active in the
Rotary Club, the Greenville Com
munity Chest and the Chamber of
Commerce.
Three years ago Mr. Gallivan ac
cepted the post of state deputy of the
Knights of Columbus for South Caro
lina; during his terms of office the
order in the state has experienced
growth paralleled in few places in
the United States during the same
period of time. He was particu
larly interested in and helpful to the
religious vacation schools of the Dio
cese, and was generous to all Cath
olic movements. He gave of his
means, time and influence for Cath
olic activities; his benefactions were
gi 'en quietly, the most recent ex
ample being the erection of the
chapel at Clemson College, dedicat
ed in January. The story about this
new chapel was scheduled to appear
in this issue of The Bulletin before
it was known that the same issue
would carry the sorrowful news of
hi • death.
Among Mr. Gallivan's major busi
ness projects was his work at Camp
Sevier during the early days of the
World War: he built most of the can
tonment, located near Greenville.
Greenville Council, Knights of Co
lumbus. went tj the residence of Mr.
Gallivan in a body and Father Syd
ney F. Dean led in the prayers for
the repose of Mr. Gallivan’s soul.

J. F. GALLIVAN GALLED
TOWER OF STRENGTH
Greenville Newspaper Says
He Was One of Best Citizens
City Ever Had
A BUILDER OF GREENVILLE
(Editorial in The Greenville News)
News)
One of Greenville's real builders,
and one of the community’s most con
structive citizens, passed away yes
terday in the death of J. P. Gallivan.
A native of Massachusetts, Mr. Gal
livan came to Greenville many years
ago and engaged in building con
struction activities. He made a suc
cess of his business, and he used the
profits of his enterprises in a variety
of ways to advance programs of social
and religious effort.
The public will never know the
true extent of Mr. Gallivan’s utiliza
tion of his business earnings to sup
port civic and social activities which
he believed to contribute to the ad
vancement fo the welfare of human
ity. He was a man who sought no
public recognition, a man who sin
cerely felt that what he did should
rest on its own merits as it might
be judged on High. He cared not
for the plaudits of mankind and
sought only to use his means as a gift
of God to make human life happier
and more constructive on this earth.
He made innumerable gifts to indi
viduals and to civic causes which will
never be publicly recorded and which
he did not wish to be publicly re
corded.
He was a man who sought sincerely
to fulfill his obligations first to his
religious conscience and who cared
nothing beyond that point. And
Greenville mourns his loss as a citi
zen who thought first and always of
his responsibilities to his spiritual ob
ligations. He made great contribu
tions to the economic and social prog
ress of the community but in no sense
for his own personal aggrandizement
but by reason of his sense of respon
sibility to powers above this earth.
A TOWER OF STRENGTH
(Editorial in The Greenville, S. C.
Piedmont)
Greenville loses one of the most
valuable citizens it has ever had in
the death of James F. Gallavan.
A tower of strength in community
life, in civic endeavor, in the world
of business and—dear to his heart—
in his church, St. Mary’s, he will be
sorely missed.
Mr. Gallivan was an enterprising,
constructive citizen of broad mind
and broad interests, and no interest
was closer to his heart than the well
being of his fellow men.
Quietly, he was alert and active in
public and private charity and phi
lanthropy, but it was his purpose and
wish always that activities of that
sort should remain undisclosed.
Highly successful in business, he
nevertheless retained always the sim
plicity and rugged integrity and high
sense of honor that marks the really
big man.
Greenville is the poorer because
Mr. Gallivan's useful life has come
to its close.
