Gillis, of Lowell, Mass., late principal of the 3rd Ward School of Sterling, Ill. Miss Gillis is widely known as a thorough scholar and most competent instructress. We congratulate the members of St. Paul’s Church and all the friends of education in Brainerd on this eminently good piece of fortune. Attention is called to the announcement of the opening of the autumn term of this school, which appears in another column. (Brainerd Tribune, 18 August 1877, p. 1, c. 3) 1880 Federal Census, Minnesota, Faribault, Rice County: Gillis, Agnes A., age 32 [sic, b. 1848 [sic] Massachusets; father b. Massachusetts [sic]; mother b. Massachusetts; teacher Miss Agnes A. Gillis was arrested for trotting her horse on the approach to the bridge, as it is called, on Wednesday, and brought before Judge Douglas for trial. The lady did not deny that she trotted on the approaches, plead her own case, and was acquitted by the jury.

(Brainerd Dispatch, 21 January 1898, p. 10, c. 2) Miss Agnes Gillis, who has been dangerously sick for the past two weeks or more, continues in about the same condition except that she is gradually growing weaker. She probably will not last but a few hours longer. (Brainerd Dispatch, 27 January 1899, p. 8, c. 4) DEATHS. _____ Miss Agnes Gillis, whose death has momentarily been expected for the past two weeks, passed peacefully agway about 5 o'clock on Monday evening, January 30, aged 67 years. Her death was due to the decay of old age, hastened by an attack of grippe. She has lived in this city for the past 22 years, coming here from Lowell, Mass. She was a cousin of General George Stark, who was [vice-] president [and director] of the N. P. road in 1877, through whose influence she came to Brainerd. She was a lady of culture and refinement, highly educated, and possessing a wonderful fund of information. She took an active interest in all public affairs for the material, moral and intellectual advancement of the community, consequently was loved and respected by all who knew her. She was an active member of St. Paul's church, and was foremost in all church work. She had considerable means when she first came here, which she eventually lost through real estate investments until in her later years, she was supported in a measure by influential and wealthy friends in the east. The funeral services occurred yesterday morning at 10:30 o'clock, at St. Paul's Episcopal church, Rev. Chas. F. Kite conducting the services. The remains were shipped to Lowell, Mass., her childhood's home for burial, this being her expressed wish.
