General Notes: Husband - Rev. Robert Addison Gilfillan

---

He graduated at Westminster College and at the The­ological Seminary of Allegheny City, was in charge of a United Presbyterian congregation at Turtle Creek in 1888.

He was educated at the common schools, and before the age of nineteen joined Company K, 100th P. V. V., and participated in nineteen battles. This regiment was part of the Ninth Army Corps, was with the Army of the Poto­mac, and took part in the siege of Vicksburg and battles of Jackson, Knoxville, Campbell Farm and Raytown. He never lost an hour through sickness or wounds, his only injury being a slight cut in the cheek by a minie-ball. Returning home after his dis­charge in June, 1865, his first active temper­ance work was to oust a liquor-seller who was operating in his native town in defiance of law. After attending New Castle Acade­my, he entered Westminster College, at Wil­mington, PA, whence he graduated in 1874. His final preparation for the ministry was made at the U. P. Theological Seminary in Allegheny, and his first charge was near North Washington, Butler County, PA. After two years at Calcutta and one at Wooster, Ohio, he came to Turtle Creek in 1886. Here he is president of the school board, and his influence is powerfully felt in the cause of temperance.
