General Notes: Husband - William T. Gilmore

---

He was first a pupil in the district schools, and then took a finishing course in the New Castle Business College. He became familiar with the limestone and plaster business, and for fifteen years followed general contracting. He came to Hillsville, Pennsylvania, in 1880, being brought there by a large amount of work in his line, and liking the village associated himself in 1890 with the Carbon Limestone Co. Three years later, Mr. Gilmore bought a half interest in the already established company, and the firm of Burk & Gilmore came into being, the senior member of the firm being Mr. E. M. Burk. They conducted the largest and most flourishing general store in the township, or immediate vicinity. Beginning in 1895, they maintained a branch store of considerable importance at Bessemer.
Mr. Gilmore was a thorough business man in every sense of the word. A close and careful buyer, he sold on small margins, depending upon a great volume of trade for his profits. He steadily prospered in all his undertakings, and became the owner of a fine residence and much other valuable property.

He was educated in the public schools of his native township and at Professor Stead's private college, at New Castle, Pennsylvania, spending three years of close application in the well known institution, after which he became quarry manager for three years, for the Carbon Limestone Company, at Hillsville. For four years he was manager of the mercantile department of this company at the same place, and then entered into partnership with E. M. Burk in a mercantile business. The firm name of Burk & Gilmore continued for several years, when Mr. Burk sold his interest to the G. W. Johnson Limestone Company, with which Mr. Gilmore was associated from 1888, the firm style being the Gilmore and Johnson Company. In politics, Mr. Gilmore was a strong Republican and he was appointed postmaster at Hillsville in 1897, by the late President McKinley. For six years he was a member of the Republican County Committee, from Mahoning Township. For nine consecutive years he served as a member of the school board and for several years was a member of the township election board. He was a member of the F. & A. M. at New Castle, Lodge No. 433. He belonged to the Baptist Church at Hillsville.
