October 29, 1922 "An antenuptial pact had to be set aside before Mrs. Marian F. Gallup, widow of the late John C. Gallup, widely-known real estate dealer, could benefit by the terms of a will, admitted to probate yesterday. The agreement was revealed when the will was presented in county court yesterday. By the terms of the document, Mrs. Gallup is made beneficiary to onefourth of the estate. A codicil was inserted in the will by Mr. Gallup, stating that he deslred the agreement to be set aside so that she could take and claim her interest in the estate. The agreement was drawn Oct. 1, 1914, - John H. Gallup, a son, is cut off without a cent by his father, the will reading, “because of money advanced to him and for reasons well enough known to the family and attorneys.” The value of the estate was not made public, but the yearly income is sald to exceed $12,000.

Then he immediately entered business in the West.
A few months ago Mr. Gallup was discharged from the army, where he served almost from the outbreak of hostilities, leaving with the Colorado cavalry, which was later demobilized and its units placed in infantry battalions. He became a first lieutenant, and because he was especially well qualified as a drill officer, he was retained in that capacity at Camp Kearny, much to his disappointment, as he made several efforts to be sent overseas.
