General Notes: Husband - Alexander Gilmore
He was reared and educated in his native township and followed farming and milling, and in 1870 located near the mill later known as the "Gilmore Mills" and continued the milling business until his death. He was engaged in repairing the dam when he fell into the stream and was drowned. In his death Irwin township lost one of its most enterprising citizens and a man who always commanded the respect and confidence of his neighbors. He was twice elected justice of the peace and was filling his second term when his death occurred. He was also at one time a county auditor, took an active interest in educational matters, and filled several of the minor offices in his township. [HVC 1890, 955]
He was a Republican in politics, and in religious faith a Presbyterian.
General Notes: Wife - Nancy L. Shontz
She was brought to Irwin township, Venango County, PA, by her parents at an early age.
