Arthur Greene Galusha, 78, of Green River road, died this morning following an illness of two months.

Mr. Galusha, until his retirement several years ago when he disposed of Coronation farm, was one of the outstanding Guernsey breeders in the country.

He was born in Berlin, N.Y., the son of Mark and Cora (Greene) Galusha, and had lived in Williamstown for 70 years.  He attended the local public schools and Andover Academy.

A member of the American Guernsey Cattle Club, he was chosen at a meeting Oct. 1, at Peterborough, N. H., to receive a certificate of honor next June for his outstanding work in the breeding of Guernsey cattle.

He was a director of the Williamstown Savings Bank, a member of the Second Congregational Church of South Williamstown, and for many years was active in the work of the Williamstown Grange.

For the past few years, he has maintained a winter home in Vero Beach, Fla., spending his summers at his home here.

He is survived by his wife, the former Genevieve (Luby) Schwartz, two Sons, Mark Galusha of Arlington, Va., and Walter Galusha of South Williamstown; and a step-son, Capt. William Xavier Schwartz of the U.S. Army now stationed in Frankfort, Germany.  He is also survived by a brother, Charles Galusha of Williamstown and two sisters, Mrs. Mary Rose and Mrs. Ella Lamb, both of Troy, N.Y.  Several grandchildren also survive.

The body will be returned to the home tomorrow noon from the Hopkins funeral home where friends may call at their convenience.  Funeral services will be held Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Second Congregational church with the pastor, Rev. Charles W. Briggs officiating.  Burial will be in Southlawn cemetery.
