General Notes: Husband - Joseph Gilliland

---

He received a good common-school education. He accompanied his parents on their removal to Clearfield County, and remained with them until his marriage. For three years after his first marriage, he operated rented land, and then engaged in hotel keeping at Salt Lick, Clearfield County, for two years. On selling out there in 1873, he removed to Three Runs, where he secured a position with J. W. Potter in his store and mill, and continued to work for him until May, 1877, when, in connection with a partner, he purchased his employer's store and rented the mill. In 1882 he bought his partner's interest and continued the business alone until September, 1883, when his brother became a member of the firm. Selling out in 1888, he removed to Salt Lick, so that he might care for his mother, and after her death, which occurred the following year, he and his brother bought the entire property, including the store, stock of goods, mill, and 194 acres of land. In 1877 he was appointed postmaster of Three Runs, which position he continued to fill until April, 1881, when he resigned; but on his return to that place the following year, he was re-appointed. In connection with his other property he also owned sixty acres of land which was under cultivation, and upon which was found a good grade of coal and fire clay.
In politics he was always a Democrat, served in a number of township offices, and for one term of three years was auditor of Clearfield County. His wife was a member of the Methodist Church.
