Therefore, you might find the obituary of someone who died before death records were kept. Some are brief but everything of a genealogical nature was abstracted.

"Year by Year The Writings of P. T. Wall" 1889-1901 Volume I
If anyone had a question about Gallia County, he was always referred to P. T. Wall. For fifty years Wall was a newspaper man and at different times was editor of every newspaper in Gallia County. He wrote about daily life, the opening of businesses, the events of the day, a local fire, the social life of who married whom, the tragedies in people’s lives, the politics and much more. This manuscript is the work he intended to publish as a history of Gallia County, but never did. The original work is a handwritten manuscript on unlined paper. It has been transcribed and indexed for those who love to learn about Gallia County. |

Gallia County from Howe's Historical Collections of Ohio, 1888
| * New this year. Henry Howe wrote a history of Ohio in 1888 and included a chapter on each county. We have used the Gallia County chapter in its entirety. Included are a section on the settlement of Gallipolis by the French 500 and some history of the Ohio and Scioto companies. Also, there is an entry from a visitor's diary describing Gallipolis in 1795 and mention of various townsmen such as Robert Safford, Joseph Drouillard, James Newsom, Mad Ann Bailey and Dr. and Madame Saugrain. There are several sketches of old Gallipolis and a map. It's a very basic picture of Gallipolis in the 19th century. |
