Charles E. Gallup

Charles E. Gallup, realtor, was born in Lenawee county, Michigan, March 14, 1862, a son of Harper P. and Susan Elizabeth (Loman) Gallup, the former a native of Melbourne, Canada, and the latter a native of New Jersey. The father came to the United States at the age of twenty-two years and settled in Wisconsin where he remained four years moving from there to Lenewee county, Michigan. He was a carpenter and worked at his trade until his death. Charles E. Gallup received his education in the schools of Lenawee county and Hillsdale College. As a young man he taught school and later became a farmer, an occupation he followed until 1907, when he came to Ann Arbor and engaged in the real estate business in which he has won a considerable degree of success. In addition to his interests in Ann Arbor he is vice-president and director in the Michigan Mutual Savings Association, of Detroit and is president of the Gallup-Folker Common Law Trust Company of Detroit. Mr. Gallup was married in 1884 to Miss Emma Jewell Gallup, who died May 5, 1910, leaving four children. They are: Mrs. Agnes Jewell Ingall, Mrs. Hazel May Sprenger, of Detroit, C. Arthur Gallup, of the Washtenaw Motor Company, of Ann Arbor, and Mrs. Lucile Burd, also of Ann Arbor. On May 7, 1912, Mr. Gallup was again married to Mrs. Harriet M. Shafer. Mr. Gallup is a Mason, a member of the Ann Arbor Chamber of Commerce, the Ann Arbor Real Estate Board and a member of the official board of the Methodist church.

A Sudden Attack of Bright’s Disease Caused Sudden Death of Mrs. Gallup, a Well Known and Estimable Woman

After less than a week’s illness Mrs. Emma Jewell Gallup, wife of Charles E. Gallup, passed away at 1.30 this morning at her home, 802 Kingsley street.

Mrs. Gallup’s death was entirely unexpected.  She was taken sick last Friday night with an attack of acute Bright’s disease, and since that time her condition had been regarded as very serious, but every hope was given that she would recover.  Her heart, however, was too weak to stand the strain, and a blood disorder also contributed to bring about a weakened condition of the system.

The death is unusually said, for besides as husband and two daughters, Agnes Jewell and Hazel May, both Seniors in the high school and both honor pupils, she leaves a son, 11 years old, Charles Arthur William, and a little daughter, Ellen Lucille, only five years of age. The family has lived in the city, where Mr. Gallup is a member of the real estate firm of Gallup & Paton, only about three years, but even in that short time Mrs. Gallup had made many friends, for she had a sweet, unselfish disposition and was always so friendly that she soon became to be well known, especially in the First Methodist church where she was an active worker.  Mrs. Gallup was conscious until the very last, and although very weak talked with the members of her family and left messages for many of her friends.  She was nearly 46 years of age.

Among her last requests was that she should be buried from the little church which the family attended for many years at Medina, Lenawee county, and the remains will be taken there and the funeral will be held at 2.30 Saturday. The services in this city will take place at the residence at 4 o’clock Friday afternoon, Rev. Arthur W. Stalker officiating. The burial will be in the family lot in what is known as the Gallup cemetery at Lime Creek. Mrs. Gallup is the last of her family and her body will lie beside those of her father and mother.
