Downtown Galmey as it looked about 1900. Galmey is a trading-point, not surveyed as a town, situated near the Northeast corner of the Northwest fourth of the Northwest quarter of Section 9, Township 36 N, Range 22 W. The first business there was a blacksmith shop run by William T. Bennett, who now (1907), has a shop in Hermitage. A Post Office was established there in 1888 and Erasmus J. Kelley was the first postmaster. (--Wilson's History of Hickory County, pp. 56 - 57.)
