A handsome grey granite memorial to local rancher Abraham Lincoln "Abe" Galloway stands at the north entrance to the San Saba County Courthouse.

The text of the memorial reads as follows:

"GALLOWAY
Abraham Lincoln (Abe) Galloway, son of Lavina and Henry C. Galloway, early San Saba County ranchers, was born March 3, 1901, in San Saba County. He died August 17, 1961, and was buried in Hillcrest Cemetery.

Abe, well known for his skills with hogs, cattle and horses, spent his entire life in the ranching and livestock business in San Saba. Most consider him one of the greatest San Saba cowboys ever to grace the back of a horse. He enjoyed deep and lasting friendships with many. Abe was truly a good man with a heart as big as the cowboy's loop he was known for throwing. His integrity and his word were accepted by all who knew him, a handshake was his bond. He was one of the best from San Saba, and we were honored by his presence."
