General Notes: Husband - John [2] Gilliford

---

He received a common school education, but was largely self-educated. He began life on the home farm, but while yet a young man, removed to Baltimore, Maryland, entering the commission house of J. M. Girvin, of that city, where he spent one year. At the expiration of that time, he returned to the homestead, on account of his brothers having left home, which made it necessary that he should superintend the affairs of the farm during his father's old age. He cultivated with success the farm of more than one hundred acres, erecting a new barn, also a saw-mill, and making other improvements. He engaged extensively in the preparation of finished lumber and in the manufacture of clover hullers, meeting with great success in both enterprises. Mr. Gilliford was in early life a Democrat, but later became a Republican. He filled at various times all the township offices.
He was a member of the Presbyterian church, of which he was a trustee. He was for some years librarian of the Sunday-school.

Seven of the his nine children died in infancy.
