General Notes: Husband - Joseph Chapman Gilmore

---

He lived in Titusville, PA, until 1869, and from that year until 1871 near Woodcock, Crawford County, PA. From 1871 to 1878 his home was at the Fountain House near Meadville, and in the latter city until his removal to Oil City in 1906. He acquired his early education in the public schools of Meadville, PA, and at Smith's busi­ness College, and commenced work in the year 1882, with the N. Y., P. & O. R. R. Co., later the Erie, at Meadville, remaining in that employ for a period of thirteen years, and in 1895 changing to the Atlantic Refining Company, as bookkeeper, at Greenville, PA. From that point he was transferred to Franklin, PA. Mr. Gilmore had purchased a farm near Meadville, to which he returned in 1898, farming on that property until 1906, during which time he was also connected with the Meadville Hay Company and the Cussewago Lumber Com­pany, both at Meadville. On Sept. 15, 1906, he went to Oil City, Venango County, PA, taking a position in the title department of the South Penn Oil Company and United Natural Gas Company. A year or two later the business of the two companies was separated, and shortly after the separation he entered the service of the United Natural Gas Company. He was well known in the fraternal bodies, affiliating with the F. & A. M., Odd Fellows and Protected Home Circle. He was a Republican in his political convictions and he and his family belonged to the First Presbyterian Church of Oil City. [CAB, 1085]
