[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
