Fox Lake paper, 05 27 1870

DIED

In the city of Watertown, at his residence in the 3d ward, on Monday morning the 16th of May, 1870, Henry B. Gallup, in the 43d year of his age.

The deceased was the only son of Mr. G. Gallup, of this place. The Watertown Democrat gives the following Obituary:

Long a resident here - during a number of years actively engaged in business pursuits - well known and universally esteemed - the death of Mr. Gallup, though not unexpected, causes a vacancy which will be as generally as sincerely regretted. For some time his health has been gradually failing, but he struggled resolutely against the steady advances of the malady destined to terminate his life, until all hope of recovery was mingled with despair, and he was compelled to surrender himself a victim to a disease for which there could be found no remedy this side of the grave in which his body was tenderly and sorrowfully laid on yesterday, amidst the tears and sadness of many relatives and friends.

He was one of the leading members of the firm of Wait, Gallup & Co., and while connected with it he displayed much of the enterprise and sagacity which have rendered so prosperous and successful that important manufacturing establishment. An intelligent and upright citizen, firm and clear in his religious views, he was a zealous and consistent member of St. Paul’s (Episcopal) Church, constantly feeling and taking an active and practical interest in whatever concerned his spiritual home. Just, kindly and honorable in the varied relations he sustained to others - the thousand endearing ties of affection and sympathy which bound him strongly, in the fervent maturity of manhood, to the interests and scenes of earth, have all been rudely sundered, when his motives and capacity for continued usefulness and labor seemed to be greatest, and the promises of the future were brightening into reality.
