General Notes: Husband - Edward I. Gilliland
He attended the common schools until fourteen years of age, but his educational privileges were very meagre. After his parents' removal to Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, he aided in the cultivation of the home farm. When fifteen years of age he began working in the lumber woods during the winter, and was thus employed for many years. In 1864, in response to an advertisement, he secured employment on the "Monticello," a ship sailing from New London, Connecticut, engaged in the whale fisheries, and chartered to take the Hall Arctic expedition to the northern regions. For eighteen months he was on that vessel, and then returned home, following lumbering through the succeeding winter. In the spring he shipped on the first steamer ever engaged in the American whale-fishing trade, and went to Hudson and Repulse bays, returning late in the autumn of the same year. In the following summer he resumed farming, and in the winter engaged in lumbering. In 1870 he began clerking in the store, and for twelve years he was engaged in farming and lumbering. Later he came to Potterdale, where he entered into partnership with his brother Joseph in mercantile and milling business, under the firm name of Joseph Gilliland & Brother. They had one of the best general stores in that section of the county, and their sales amount to about $15,000 annually. As lumber merchants and farmers they were also successful.
