CALEB HATHAWAY GALLUP

     Hon. Caleb Hathaway Gallup was the son of Hallet Gallup and Clarissa Gallup, and was born at Norfolk, Ohio, on the 10th day of May, 1834.  He died at Norwalk, on Saturday, October 16th, 1915, in the 82nd year of his age.
     Mr. Gallup was descended from English ancestry, his progenitor in direct line having been John Gallup, who came to America, from the Parish of Mosterne. County Dorset, England, in 1630, in a company of one hundred and forty persons in the ship "Mary and John," arriving at Nantasket (now Hull), Mass, May 30th, of that year.
     The subject of this sketch, in his boyhood attended the public schools of Norwalk, afterwards in 1856, graduating in the scientific course from Madison University, now Colgate, at Hamilton, New York.  He read law in the office of Wooster and Pennewell, in Norwalk, until the fall of 1857, when he entered the Law School of Cincinnati College, from which he graduated on the 13th of April, 1858, as Bachelor of Laws, and was admitted the same day to practice in the courts of Ohio.  He at once commenced practice in Norwalk.
     In July, 1859, he removed to Huron county, Michigan, where he was admitted to the Bar of that State.  He practiced law successfully in Michigan until 1872, when owing to the death of his second wife, leaving young children, he returned to Norwalk, where he resumed the practice of his profession, and where he resided until his death.
     While residing in Michigan, he held the office of Prosecuting Attorney of Huron County ten consecutive years, and was the Representative in the Legislature of Michigan from the same County during the years 1855 and 1867.  He was also Deputy United States Marshal, during the years 1863-1865.
     Mr. Gallup was twice married: to Miss Kate V. Vredenburgh, June 20, 1860, and to Miss Helen Alphenia Glover, Nov. 3rd, 1869.  The former died May 25th, 1863, leaving

Page 1849C] -
a son, Richard Carroll, 19 months old.  The second wife died Apr. 8th, 1872, leaving one daughter, Mabel Parker, 18 moths old, and one son, Herbert Alpheus, 4 days old.
     Upon his return to Ohio from Michigan, in 1872, Mr. Gallup while resuming the practice of his profession, became at once identified with many public enterprises and took an active part in the promotion of the growth and progress of Norwalk and vicinity.
     From 1873 to 1883, he assisted much in the promotion and construction of The Wheeling and Lake Erie Railroad, serving in, 1877-9 on its board of directors; in 1879 he wrote a History of Norwalk for W W. Williams' "History of Huron and Erie Counties:" in 1888, with others, he founded the financially successful Home Savings & Loan Company, of Norwalk, becoming one of its directors and its President, which offices he continued to hold until his death; in 1899 he became interested as director and as member of its executive committee, in the construction and operation of the Toledo, Fremont, and Norwalk Electric Railway, holding those positions until the sale of the road in 1901 to The Lake Shore Electric Railway Company; he became a life member of The Whittlesey Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1877, and was chosen one of its board of trustees in 1878, chairman of the board the same year, and Treasurer of the Society in 1901, all of which places of trust he continued to hold until his  death; he became a life member of The Firelands Historical Society in 1876, and was from 1888 until his death a member of its board of trustees, its librarian, the curator of its museum and the editor of its publications; from 1889 until his death he was a member of The Huron County Children's House Association; and from 1902, its treasurer; from 1903, until his death, he was a member of The Young Men's Library and Reading Rooms Association of Norwalk and one of its board of trustees and executive committee during the same period; he was a member of the Norwalk Chamber of Commerce; a member of the National Geographic Society; and a member of the Ohio Archaeological and Histor-

Page 1849D] -
ical Society, being a member of its board of trustees and executive committee from Mar. 2nd, 1909."
     Mr. Gallup gave all these enterprises and undertakings conscientious, enthusiastic, intelligent and untiring support and devotion; the success and efficiency of many of them being the result.  He was remarkable for his ability and industry in historical research, the present highly flourishing condition of the museum of The Firelands Historical Society bearing witness to his skill and knowledge in that direction.
     Hon. E. O. Randall, Secretary and Editor of The Ohio Archaeological and Historical Society, and one of Ohio's foremost and most accomplished historians, speaking of Mr. Gallup's selection as trustee of that Society, says:

     "Mr. Gallup is known throughout the country for his historical scholarship and for the active and extensive work he has done in connection with The Firelands Historical Society of which he has been an influencial and official member for a number of years.  He has always been an enthusiastic student of Ohio and Western History, and has written much that is interesting and accurate concerning the early settlement of the Buckeye State."
     Mr. Gallup was, as a lawyer, learned in his profession and honorable in his practice.  He was pre-eminently public-spirited, and passionately and untiringly devoted to the public welfare, as his connection with so many public organizations abundantly showed.  In his private life and intercourse with his fellow citizens he was courteous and generous, strictly honest and upright in all his dealings and business transactions; and throughout his life represented and illustrated the highest type of manhood and citizenship.  He will be long remembered for his many virtues and sterling worth.
     His devotion to the interests of The Firelands Historical Society was tireless, and fruitful in its increasing growth and proserity.  His death occasions a lost to the Society well-nigh irreparable.
