General Notes: Husband - Robert G. Gilmore


He was reared and educated in Pennsylvania. He served in the Civil War, enlisting at Erie, Pennsylvania, August 17, 1861, in Company D, Eighty-third Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, Colonel J. W. McLane and Captain O. S. Woodward commanding. Among the battles he participated in were the Seven Days' battle before Richmond, Turkey Bend, second battle of Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and at Gettysburg, and the other battles and skirmishes of that campaign. He participated in the three days' battle in the Wilderness previous to the battle of Spottsylvania. At the battle of Spottsylvania he was wounded, and carried a ball in his left leg to his final day. At Spottsylvania he was taken prisoner, May 8, 1864, and August 22, 1864, he was paroled and sent to Annapolis, Maryland. He enlisted as a private, but was promoted to the rank of sergeant for gallantry on the field. His regiment had more killed and wounded than any other in the army, except one. He was honorably discharged September 20, 1864, and returned to Pennsylvania. He married, and in 1876 located in Highland township, Gage County, Nebraska, on a farm of one hundred and sixty acres. In 1892 retired to reside in Beatrice. His first vote was cast for Lincoln in 1860, and he thereafter continued voting the Republican ticket. Like the majority of the veterans of the Civil war, he was interested in G. A. R. work, and was one of the charter members of the Cortlandt [sic] Post, of which he served as commander. He was later a member of the Rawlins Post No. 35, of Beatrice.
