General Notes: Husband - John Gilmore

---

His early education was obtained in the public school, his preparatory at the Hills School, Pottstown, Pennsylvania, after which he entered Lafayette College, from whence he was graduated. After completing his college course he began business life as a hardware merchant at New Castle, Pennsylvania, in partnership with Fred Plumer, a relative of his mother. Later he sold his interest to his partner and began farming. He was very successful in his farming operations, and continued for several years. He later returned to the hardware business, forming a partnership and trading under the firm name of Gilmore & Frey. They purchased the hardware stock and good will of Z. B. Springer in Uniontown, and there Mr. Gilmore was very successfully engaged in business until his death. He had other important business interests outside his hardware store. He was interested in farms and fine stock raising; organized the Gilmore Coal & Coke Company and also had coal interests in both Fayette and Greene counties. He was a prosperous, influential citizen and held leading positions in his city. He was a Democrat in politics, but was never an aspirant for public office. In religious faith he and his wife are Episcopalians.
