Mary Onahan Gallery

[3] Gallery was educated at the Sacred Heart Academy in Chicago, graduating at an early age.

[4] At the World's Columbian Exposition held in Chicago in 1893, Gallery attended a congress of women's representatives.

When a reporter contacted William Onahan for comment, he called the story preposterous and a hoax.

She believed that one of the important duties of American Catholics was to see that the church was done justice to in the columns of the daily press.

Gallery took her greatest interest in human nature stories about the practical betterment of the world, for, as one writer said of her:— "'Molly' Onahan would take more pleasure in the approving whoop of a lot of 'newsies' than in prim congratulations from all the prelates of a general council.

Of her style, Author Walter Lecky said:Although the youngest of Chicago's literary coterie, she is a writer of marked ability.
