Galusha Grow Dies Father of Homestead Law
Galusha A Grow, the father of the homestead law and former Speaker of the House, died at his Glenwood home near Scranton, Pa., aged eighty three years and eleven months. He served twenty years in Congress, was a Free Soil Democrat turned Republican, and led the fight for the homestead bill before and during the Civil War. His second term ended in 1900, and he returned to find a changed Congress under new party control and organizational rule. He died after a lengthy life marked by public service and a noted fervor for westward settlement and federal policy.
