  Death Notices, Obituaries and Marriage Notices Taken from the Gallia County, Ohio Newspapers 1825-1875
The great advantage of this book is that it covers the years prior to death records being kept, which was 1867. 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. There are many missing newspapers from this timeframe but it's worth a look.

History
   
  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.
