He was married to Jennie Johnson June 12, 1858 and to them were born ten sons and three daughters. He is survived by his sons, George J., Robert L., Samuel W., James L., and Edward Gillan, who reside with their families on farms west of this city; also John A. Gillan, the present Seward county sheriff, Harry V. Gillan of this city who is agent for the Updike Grain Co., making his home with his parents; the daughters, Mrs. Mary Chambers of Exeter, Nebr., Mrs. Anna Gillan of Lexington, Nebr. and Mrs. Mattie Chambers of York, and 31 grandchildren, two sons having preceded him to that home beyond the river. Mr. Gillan moved from Ireland to McLean county, Illinois in 1873 where he resided until 1883 when he moved to York county, Nebr., where he by industry and careful management had accumulated a sufficient amount of property to care for himself and wife during their declining years. He rented his farm and moved to Cordova, Nebr., where he has since resided. He had been in poor health for some time and kept gradually growing weaker. The entire family were fortunate enough to be able to be at his bedside during his last hours and all that kind hands and skill could do was done. Uncle Alex, as he was famiiarly known, was beloved alike by young and old. He always seemed to see the bright side and always manifested a willingness to say a good word and to help those who were unfortunate and was not known to speak ill of anyone. In 1878 he united with the United Brethren Church at Arrowsmith, Ill., where he remained a faithful member until he moved to Nebraska where he united with the M. E. church at Pleasant Ridge. The funeral services were conducted at the family home, in Cordova, Tuesday, April 3, by the Rev. William VanBuren, pastor of the M. E. church of Beaver Crossing and his remains were laid to rest at the Exeter Cemetery there to await the Master's call. Beaver Crossing Pride, Beaver Crossing, NE, Thurs, April 12, 1906
