Silas was a farmer and a school teacher, who married his student Phebe Montanye, who was just 15. The family story is that It was the custom for a couple to announce their marriage by ringing a bell. Silas and Phebe rang a bell, but since no one paid any attention, they kept their marriage a secret until the end of the school term.
Silas and Phebe Gallup stayed in the Esperance area until after the birth of all twelve children. They moved to Lyons, Burt County, Nebraska, via train, arriving Thanksgiving Day 1887. With them were their four youngest children. It is said that they joined sons Albert and Allen in Nebraska, also daughter Susan who was teaching there.
Silas had never enjoyed good health in New York. He had been advised by his brother James that the climate in Nebraska was very healthful. In both New York and Nebraska, Silas made and sold Gallup's Salve. The recipe for the salve had been handed down in the family through his father, Ebenezer.
Many of the dates in the Gallup family history have come from the Frank King Family Bible, which was handed down from Silence Gallup to Ebenezer Gallup, and then to Silas Gallup and his family.
