General Notes: Husband - James Gilfillan

---

He resided on the family farm in Clarion County, Pennsylvania, until he was in his eighteenth year, when he moved to Venango County, and was there apprenticed to learn the joiner's trade, afterward carry-ing on that business in the same county where he put up numerous buildings. Subsequently he took up the trade of millwright, building several mills in Venango (now Forest) county and vicinity, among them the large one that was owned by Collins, Darrah & Co., at Nebraska; beginning in 1864 he was most of the time more or less identified with mills. He came to Forest County when it was a part of Venango County, and when the county seat was established at Tionesta.
He was a member of the Methodist Church, and served as class-leader for a number of years. In politics he was a Democrat; he held the office of jury commissioner, and for three terms was justice of the peace.
