DELAWARE COUNTY^ 867 her, 1858, Abel Gallup^ brother of Ezra (Tnlliip^ Esq., of Gallup villc, aged sixty- two years. He was one of the first settlers in the town of Meredith, and had hy industry and perseverance acquired a handsome property. He was much esteemed by all who knew him, for his many amiable qualities. — ^^Schoharie liep. Died — In this village, on the 12th inst., Mr. Jacob Every, aged eighty-four years. At the time of his death, Mr. Every was the oldest resident of this place. He came here some sixty-three years ago, and built a log-house, on nearly the same spot now occupied by our printing-ofiice. There was but one other building (Mr. N. Gregory's) in the place. He was a stirring, enterprising business man, and his presence soon made the wilderness echo with the notes of improvement. He built dams, grist-mills, saw-mills, clothing establishments, and dwellings, and everything prospered before him. But the tide was changed as the sun of life began to recede. His grist-mill was destroyed by fire, and other reverses took from him the motive power of business. He has always resided in the village since he first moved here from Connec- ticut on horseback, and was respected and esteemed for his many good qualities. Peace to the ashes of this once faithful and enterprising pioneer of our village. — [C, Died — -In this village, on the morning of the 14th inst., Mr. George Bunnell, (merchant) aged thirty-six years, of typhoid fever. In the death of Mr. Bunnell his parents and relatives have lost a true and tried friend, and the public a valu- able, capable and worthy business man. He has resided in our village about seven years, and had become endeared to our citizens for many virtues and benevolent deeds. His death has thrown rro'ind us a bads^e of mourniuG; that time alone can obliterate. For the past two years he has held the office of supervisor of this town. — [Jfm-or, Jan, 17fJi, 1854.
