In the new concern Mr. Gallup acted as treasurer and general manager of the business. The president of the company was Roswell A. Breed, who held this office until his retirement, in 1911, when Mr. Gallup became president of the company, still retaining the general managership, handling the duties of both offices up to the present time.
The Norwich Belt Manufacturing Company is now one of the oldest as well as one of the most important of the Norwich industries. Their principal product is large and small leather belts for factory and other uses, and they also do an extensive business in tanning leather of many kinds and grades, for all sorts of purposes, their market covering a very wide range of territory. Their office and tannery are on North Main street, in Norwich, and they have a branch office in Providence, Rhode Island.
In both industrial and financial circles of Norwich Mr. Gallup has long been a power for stability and advancement. He has been a director of the Chelsea Savings Bank since 1875, and one of its vice-presidents since 1919. He was a director of the Thames National Bank of Norwich from January, 1888, to November, 1909. He was president of the Norwich Industrial Building Company for twenty-five years. He was presi- dent of the Crescent Fire Arms Company, of Norwich, for twenty-six years, up to May, 1919, when he disposed of his interests in this connection. He is president of the Smith Granite Company, of Westerly, Rhode Island, and president of the New London County Mutual Fire Insurance Company. He was president of the Bulletin Company, publishers of the Norwich "Bulletin," for a period of eight years. In all these varied interests Mr. Gallup has displayed the well-balanced judgment and the assured discernment which make for permanent stability in the business world. His fearlessness in every relation is one of his dominant characteristics, but is balanced by a fine conservatism, which nevertheless admits no com- promise.
But individual enterprise is not the sum of Mr. Gal- lup's activities. He has done much for the civic ad- avncement of the city of Norwich. No man who had a worthy object in view has ever found an unwilling listener in Henry Haskell Gallup, when proposing a reform or bringing about a movement which involved the public good, particularly affecting the city of Nor- wich. He has always been a leader in the promotion of all industrial and manufacturing growth of the city. It has been said of him that he has done more to advance

the manufacturing interests of Norwich than any other citizen holding residence here. Of later years he has been obliged to delegate much of the active work along these lines to younger men, but his assistance, in an advisory capacity, is still freely given and highly prized, His long membership on the board of trade was a force for progress, and for two years he was president of that body.
Politically Mr. Gallup has always supported the prin- ciples of the Republican party, and it was only in the natural order of sequence that his services were sought for the commonwealth. He was elected State treasurer in 1900, taking office January 1, 1901. He was re- elected in 1902, and served two terms, or until January I, 1905.
Mr. Gallup has been a member of the Arcanum Club, of Norwich, for twenty-five years. His religious con- victions long since placed his membership with Christ Church, of Norwich, of which he has been senior warden for many years.
On September 26, 1871, Mr. Gallup married, at Nor- wich, Irena Harriot Breed, of this city, daughter of Edward and Harriot (Hebard) Breed. Mr. and Mrs. Gallup are the parents of five children, of whom two are now living: Walter Henry, who was born in Nor- wich, on April 13, 1873, is also associated with the Norwich Belt Manufacturing Company, and married Maud Anna Morgan, of Norwich, they being the parents of two children, Maria Theresa, and Henrietta Hebard; and a daughter, Susie Irena, who resides at home. Since 1912 Mr. Gallup and his family have made their home at the Mohican Hotel, in New London, Connecticut.

BIOGRAPHICAL
From such ancestry came Harry Todd Griswold, born in New Haven, Connecticut, January 22, 1879. He was educated in the Bartlett School in Lyme, whence he was graduated, class of 1896, and for three years was a student of the violin in New York City. Later he pur- sued courses in civil engineering, and from 1901 until 1904 was with the engineering department of the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad. In 1904 he became an engineer in the Terminal System of the Pennsylvania railroad in New York City, continuing with that company for three years. During 1907-09 he was engaged in special engineering work for the Lozier Motor Company, at Plattsburg, New York. In 1909, his health having become impaired, he returned to the old home in Old Lyme and engaged in farming.
With health restored, he entered the engineering division of the United States War Department, making special reports on a power development, being stationed at New London, Connecticut. He was so engaged dur- ing 1911-13, then, during 1913-17, he was a partner in the electrical contracting firm of J. Warren Gay Elec- trical Company. Then came the great war period, 1917- 18, and, with millions of his young American brethren, Mr. Griswold, whose family had served with distinction in other wars waged by the United States, from the Revolution down, with the memories of Fort Griswold as a part of the family tradition, with the memory of two gallant brothers as a latter day offering on patri- otism's altar, volunteered his services and entered the army. Having joined the Connecticut National Guard in 1916, he was commissioned a second lieutenant of the Ioth Company, Connecticut Coast Artillery Corps, in April, 1917, that corps of the Connecticut National Guard which later became the 56th Regiment, Coast Artillery Corps, United States army. After training at Fort Wright, New York, at which place he was pro- moted to a first lieutenant and put in charge of the building and barracks being built at Fort Wright and Fort Terry, he sailed in March, 1918, for France. In August, 1918, he was detached from his regiment, then at the front, and assigned to duty as drilling officer with the Intelligence Section of the First army, being sta- tioned at the headquarters of that army. Lieutenant Griswold was in France until fighting ended. During the spring of 1919 he returned to the United States and was mustered out of service at Fortress Monroe, Vir- ginia.
Upon his return to New London, he formed an asso- ciation with Major Morris Benham Payne, the firm, Payne & Griswold, resulting. Mr. Keefe being admitted in 1920, the firm name became Payne, Griswold & Keefe, architects and engineers, now successfully operating in New London.
In politics a Republican, Lieutenant Griswold, in 1920, was the successful nominee of his party for the State Legislature, serving on the Railroad Committee. He is a member of Pythagoras Lodge, No. 45, Free and Ac- cepted Masons, of Old Lyme, Connecticut; Burning Bush Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, Essex, Connecticut ; Palestine Commandery, Knights Templar, of New Lon- don ; and is a thirty-second degree Mason of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite.

After his marriage in 1888, he resided at the home farm one year, then leased the Butler Chapman farm in
Griswold, which he cultivated until 1896. In that year he bought a farm of sixty acres, formerly a part of the Simon Brewster farm, lying one and one-half miles south of Jewett City, and there engaged in general farming and dairying until his death.

DUDLEY ST. CLAIR DONNELLY-The career of Mr. Donnelly, of New London, Connecticut, an architect of wide reputation, is one to excite unusual interest. Born at the very threshold of the United States, but under the English flag ( Barbadoes, West Indies), he was brought to the United States by his father (who had here been educated) when but a boy of five years, and in Yonkers, New York, took his first lesson in architecture, a profession in which he has gained high and honorable rank, and is a mem- ber of Connecticut Chapter, American Institute of Architects. For more than a quarter of a century he has practiced his profession in New London, and there continues a leader.
His father, Henry C. Donnelly, was born in the Barbadoes, West Indies, but was sent to New Eng- land to be educated. He then returned to Barbadoes and for several years filled secretarial positions. He married Catherine Barry, and in 1875, with his wife and five-year-old son, Dudley St. Clair, came to the United States and located in Yonkers, New York. He became secretary to Lawrence Brothers, of that city, continuing until bis death in 1920. His wife survives him and continues her residence in Yonkers. Henry C. and Catherine (Barry) Donnelly were the parents of eleven children, five of whom survive their father: I. Dudley St. Clair, of further mention. 2. Mabel, a teacher in a school in Yonkers. 3. James, a contractor of Yonkers, married Frances Percival. 4. Eliza, a musician teaching piano and voice, resid- ing with her mother and sister in Yonkers. 5. George, a deputy sheriff, who married Ethel Wright, and resides in Yonkers.
Dudley St. Clair Donnelly was born in the Bar- badoes, West Indies, September 17, 1870, and there passed the first five years of his life. In 1875 he was brought to Yonkers, New York, by his parents, and there finished public school courses, with gradu- ation from high school, class of 1888. He then spent three years in the office of Benjamin Silliman, archi- tect; then, in 1891, continued architectural work in Boston, Massachusetts, under Arthur F. Gray, re- turning the same year to Yonkers and reentering the employ of Mr. Silliman. In 1892 he came to New London, Connecticut, with Cole & Chandler, of Boston, the architects of the Winthrop School, which they designed and superintended. Mr. Don- nelly was chief draughtsman for Cole & Chandler, and in 1892, shortly after the death of Mr. Cole, opened an office as architect, and designed many buildings. He formed a partnership with Louis R. Hazeltine, of New London, in 1899, the firm being known as Donnelly & Hazeltine. Donnelly & Hazel- tine continued successfully until 1906, and during N.L .- 2.19.
that period they designed several important build- ings, including an addition to the Winthrop School in New London (the same building which served as Mr. Donnelly's introduction to New London), the New London Savings Bank building on Main street (which Mr. Donnelly regards with special pride, he having personally designed it), the Congregational church in Groton, the Masonic building in Green- point, New York, "Ye Faire Harbour" apartment house in New London, the addition to the Bill Public Library, Groton, and the Mariners' Savings Bank, of New London. On December 1, 1906, Donnelly & Hazeltine dissolved partnership.
In 1907, Mr. Donnelly designed and built the Day and March buildings in New London; in 1908 the Plant Hunting Lodge, in Lyme, and all the buildings pertaining thereto; in 1909, the Walter S. Guard residence, at Neptune Park, and an addition to the New London County Court House; also remodeled the old Rhinelander Mansion at Pequot for Robert Moore; designed and built the Independent Order of Odd Fellows' building on Bank street, New Lon- don; and the Fort Griswold Hotel Annex at Groton. His chief building in 1910 was the Percy Coe Eg- gleston residence at Post Hill, Connecticut; a large garage for Morton F. Plant, and buildings for the Ship and Engine Company, of Groton. In 1911 his contribution to the notable buildings of the Con- necticut coast were the Hotel Garde at New Haven, and a high school building at Groton, donated to the town by P. F. Bill; in 1912 the La Pointe factory, the J. N. La Pointe and Mainwaring buildings, and the Polish Society Hall, Norwich, Connecticut. He designed the Natchaug School in Willimantic, Con- necticut ; the Shennecossett Country Club, at Eastern Point, Groton, in 1913; the Plant building and Monte Cristo garage, New London, in 1914; the Young Men's Christian Association building, New London; and the Plant building in Groton, in 1915; an addi- tion to the Hotel Griswold in 1916, and the Marsh building; a dormitory and gymnasium at Connecticut College for Women at New London; the Sexton building at New London in 1917; the Jewish Syna- gogue at New London; Belleview Club and winter cot- tages for Emery Ford and Charles J. Schlotman, of Detroit, at Belleair, Florida, in 1919; and in 1920 the Receiving building at the Connecticut State Farm, Lyme. These complete a list of notable buildings which owe their design to the genius of Mr. Donnelly, and many of these have arisen under his supervision.
