General Notes: Husband - James Andrew Gillgrist

---

He was reared in Marion Township, Butler County, PA, and attended the public school during his boyhood days. He learned and followed the trade of a carpenter when a young man, then turned his attention to agricultural pursuits, at which he was quite successful. He purchased the old Mar­shall farm of 100 acres in Marion Town­ship, on which he erected a set of modern and substantial buildings, creating a highly improved property. Religiously he and his family were members of the Church of God. Mr. Gillgrist was a Democrat in politics, and served multiple terms as tax collector. [HBC 1909, 1469]
