Magnolia Manor History
One hundred forty-two years ago the Galigher family—Charles A., his wife Adelia Lippit Galigher, and their three sons, Frank, Albert, and Charles Frederick—moved into a new home, “a stately fourteen-room mansion of brick on upper Washington Avenue.”
Mr. Galigher, a prominent citizen of Cairo, was a milling merchant, whose fortune was accumulated through selling flour for hardtack to the government during the Civil War. Through business transactions, he became a friend of General U.S. Grant who made his headquarters in Cairo while planning and launching his siege of the South.
