Volume IV Illustrated. The S. J. Clarke Publishing Company, Chicago – Louisville, 1928. Boyd Co. GEORGE FDEDERICK GALLUP. George Frederick Gallup, an able attorney, represents the third generation of the family in Cattlesburg, in which place his life has been spent, and he worthily bears a name that has been synonymous with the highest ideals in Kentucky’s citizenship. His grandfather, George W. Gallup, was a brigadier general in the Union army and subsequently engaged in the practice of law and in railroad building. The parents of George F. Gallup were Gideon Frederick and Jeanette Thornhill (Atkinson) Gallup, the former a pioneer merchant of Catlettsburg, who also became well known as a railroad contractor. George F. Gallup was born June 10, 1897, and after the completion of his high school course matriculated in the University of Kentucky. He enlisted in the United States Marines and was a member of the Fourth Regiment during the war, serving in Santo Domingo, O. R. He was graduated with the class of 1922, receiving the degree of LL. B., and in the same year was admitted to the bar. He at once entered upon the work of his profession in Catlettsburg and in the intervening period has established a remunerative practice. Mr. Gallup is a member of the Boyd County, Kentucky State and American Bar Associations. Along fraternal lines he is connected with the Masons and the Benevolent Protective Order of Elks, while his political views are in accord with the platform and principles of the democratic party. He was elected city attorney in 1926 and meets every requirement of the office. Close study and untiring effort have brought him rapidly to the fore in his profession and his personal qualities are such as to make for strong and enduring friendships. He is thoroughly appreciative of the resources, advantages and attractions of his community, county and state and loyally supports every movement for their advancement.
