Possibly buried in Knox Cemetery.
Nathaniel Gallup died on Tuesday last, at his home in East Berne, at the advanced age of ninety-three years. The funeral was held yesterday and was very largely attended. The deceased was the oldest resident of the town and had lived in the old homestead, where he died, for ninety-two years. He was born in the town of Berne, on the Helderberg's, October 6, 1798. His father, Nathaniel Gallup, Sr., came to the town from Groton, Conn., in 1876. He was one of the first subscribers to the Argus, when it was established, and at his death, on April 21, 1834, his son, the deceased, continued the subscription, and was a regular subscriber for the semi-weekly up to the time of his death. He went to Albany many a time on horseback, a distance of twenty miles to get his papers, before a mail route was established to this place. Mr. Gallup was a life-long Democrat. His first vote for president was cast for Andrew Jackson, and he has never missed being present and voting at every election since that time. He would never scratch his tickets to please a friend, always maintaining that if they wanted his vote they must get their nomination from his party and have their names printed on the ticket. It had ever been stricktly against his principles to contract a debt, and this, he held, applied to newspapermen as to any other class, and his subscription to The Argus was always paid promptly in advance. The Argus was one of the dearest companions of his life. He was always a firm believer in it and the principles which it taught. No amount of argument could ever induce him to swerve from a line of duty as pointed out in the columns of The Argus. Many a time did he "down" a political adversary and clinch his argument with the "assertion" that "The Argus said so, and The Argus is the only is the only truthteller printed." He was a brother of Albert Gallup, who represented this district in the Twenty-fifth congress. His wife was a sister of the late General Walden, of Schoharie County. He was the father of eleven children, ten of whom are now living, viz., Ex-Assemblyman, Minor Gallup, ex-Sheriff and ex-County Treasurer Albert Gallup, Nathaniel D. Gallup, George Gallup, John E. Gallup, Mrs. Z. A. Dyer, Mrs. Weaver, Mrs. E. Jones, Mrs. Albert Osterhout and Mrs. D. Washburn. Published in The Argus, page 8, August 17, 1889.
