GALLUP and Ella (Ellen) MILES who farmed near Danvers in Ingham County. James was born in 1849 in Michigan, the son of Alfred T. GALLUP and Mary N. MOODY (?). Ella MILES was born in 1854 in Liberty, Jackson County, the daughter of Benjamin MILES and Carolyn FOSTER. James and Ella were married in 1874, probably in Jackson County, and had one son, Fred GALLUP. By 1910, James and Ella had retired from farming and lived in Mason where James died in 1914. Meanwhile son Fred GALLUP had married Fay DOTY in 1900 and had one child, Imogene, and continued farming. After James' death, Ella moved to Leslie to live with her sister, Mrs. Elizabeth (MILES) LUMBARD, where she died in 1920. A sister, Mary (MILES) YOUNG of Leslie and a brother, Frank MILES of Mason and Leslie, had predeceased Ella.
