[This article was transcribed without making changes to spelling or grammar.] Athens Messenger Agust 11, 1887 GALLIA Jown S. Northrup, of Gallia county, father of Dr. W. T. Northrup, whose tragic death at the hands of the McCoys at Haverhill, Scioto County, raised such a sensation, died at his home, a few miles from Gallipolis recently, aged nearly eighty years. The death of the doctor weighed heavily upon him, and recently he received a fall, sustaining what at the time seemed to be slight injuries, but from which he never recovered. He was a prominent citizen, one of the early settlers of Gallia county, and a much respected man. Transcribed by Joyce Robinson

Thank you Joyce for your hard work in transcribing the Athens Messenger. I appreciated each and every tidbit. Much appreciated. Julie

Hi Joanne, James C. McCall is my GGG grandfather. I have Thomas' wife as Sarah (Sally) Proctor but have no more information about them. Would love to know where Thomas came from and when.

[This article was transcribed without making changes to spelling or grammar.] Athens Messenger July 21, 1887 GALLIA The Gallipolis Journal of last week says: A dead catfish was discovered on the beach fronting the city which weighed 85 pounds. It was four feet and two inches in length. Henderson Love, says the Gallipolis Journal, who shot his father-in-law, Andy Tuck, was sent to jail by Mayor Cook, in default of security in the sum of $1,500. Tuck lies in a precarious condition, with slight hopes of recovery. The Gallipolis Daily Sun, edited by A. L. Russell, after a short life of some six weeks, succumbed at the close of last week to the unkindly influences of debt. A. J. Green was made assignee. This paper started under favorable auspices so far as outfit and general equipment were concerned, but while its death seems premature, it was all but inevitable. Transcribed by Joyce Robinson

[This article was transcribed without making changes to spelling or grammar.] Athens Messenger June 23, 1887 GALLIA Crops throughout Gallia county are reported in good shape as to condition and quality. Gallia county, it is confidently said, will at the fall election improve on her usual fifteen hundred Republican majority. The people at Gallipolis are confident of early striking oil or gas. The energy which they have evinced in connection with their test well is worthy of success. The colored voters of Gallia county held a meeting and decided that John G. Willis should go on the Republican county ticket as Recorder of something else. He didn't, however, and the colored voters there are in no very amiable mood as a result. After the recent acquittal of Hawkins, indicted for arson, at Gallipolis the Prosecutor got his dander up and nollied (sic) all the criminal cases on the docket, including the celebrated cases against the ex councilmen and city officers who were accused of having helped themselves to the public funds. He evidently thinks justice has a poor show in Gallipolis. The Betz & Morrison saw-mill, at Gallipolis, which had a boiler to explode a month ago, killing four men and badly wrecking half of the mill, was in process of reconstruction by the proprietors and nearly completed when it was fired by some one early last Thursday morning, and was entirely destroyed, together with considerable lumber piled near. The loss is estimated at about $3,000. Transcribed by Joyce Robinson

A question came up on another list, that someone here may be able to answer. How do most professional researchers charge? By the hour? What would an average rate charged be? Pam

[This article was transcribed without making changes to spelling or grammar.] Athens Messenger June 16, 1887 GALLIA The 4th is to be celebrated in grand style at Gallipolis. After going down 3,000 feet, the Gallipolis gas well has stopped short because the drill has been broken off in the Trenton rock, as they suppose, and all efforts to remove it have failed. Last week's Gallipolis Bulletin says that on the preceding Saturday the Gallipolis creamery paid out $150 for cream, which mostly went into the pockets of women who heretofore have been churning their own cream. A last Friday's dispatch from Gellipolis says: A locomotive on the Ohio and West Virginia railroad struck a wagon this morning containing Mr. J. Adams, wife and two children, instantly killing the parents and one child. The other child was unhurt. Mr. Adams was a wealthy farmer. Representative Matthews, of Gallia county, who, it was reported, would lose a foot from an accidental blow with an ax received recently, says the newspaper accounts of the accident were exagerated (sic), and that he is able to be around, and will be all right in a a (sic) few days. His numerous friends throughout the State will be pleased to hear this. Transcribed by Joyce Robinson

Mr. and Mrs. James Cremeens, of Gallipolis, recently died with measles within a few days of each other. Creamery buttermilk at Gallipolis is largely supplanting the uses of beer and other customary summer beverages there. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Guthrie, of Cheshire Gallia county, will socially celebrate their Golden wedding next Tuesday, May the 31st. Miss Sarah Cubbage, residing for many years on Front street, Gallipolis, died at her home, Sunday of last week of dropsy, aged 68 years.

[This article was transcribed without making changes to spelling or grammar.] Athens Messenger May 19, 1887 GALLIA The Gallipolis creamery will be in operation this week. It will start off with about 200 pounds of butter a day, increasing to 400 within a month and working to the full capacity of 1,200 to 1,400 pounds a day as soon as farmers can fix for supplying it with cream. It is said of Dr. Northup, who was lately brutally murdered by the McCoy boys at Haverhill, Scioto county, that during his residence at Gallipolis, the steamer John Porter, with the yellow fever on board, passed up the Ohio river and was refused permission to land on either bank. Dr. Northup was the only physician who had the physical and moral courage to board the infected boat. "Moved by a high and ennobling sense of duty, he took charge of the floating lazar house and became a veritable Good Samaritan to its sick and dying inmates." Transcribed by Joyce Robinson

Chase, of Gallipolis, recently sustained painful and serious injuries by the fall of a bulletin board upon him. The members of the Gallipolis M. E. church are in correspondence with organ builders, with the view of purchasing a pipe organ, estimated to cost $2,000. Dr. Thos. W. Northrop who was lately so brutally murdered at Haverhill, Scioto county, was a former resident of Gallipolis, the Journal of which place says of him: "The Doctor was the son of John S. Northrop, and he is a descendant of that famous woman, Ann Bailey The family will employ Judge Bannon of Portsmouth, and will prosecute to the bitter end." Transcribed by Joyce Robinson
