Highland Recorder August 4, 1922 The Recorder is called upon to chronicle the death of another aged and well known citizen, Capt. Samuel Gilmer, octogenarian and last member of his father’s family, death occurring at an early hour Sunday morning at his home near Mill Gap. Capt. Gilmor had been in failing health for several years, having one or two partial strokes of paralysis, and early last week sustained a fall due possibly to another attack, from which he failed to rally. He was among the oldest residents of the county, having been bonn in 1835. He was a son of the late Alexander and Sarah Gilmor and, as stated above, the last member of the family. He is survived by his wife, who before marriage was Miss Jemima Jordan, and the following children: Mrs. Roger Williams and Mrs. H. F. Herold, of the county, John A. Gilmor of California, Jesse P. Gilmor of Pennsylvania and S. Mack Gilmor, with whom he made his home. Capt. Gilmor was a Confederate veteran, the notation opposite his name in the county’s roster being as follows: (61), E. 31, Capt. So few of the old veterans live to give word-of mouth information that the present day necrologist, in the tribute he would pay to these departed Confederates has to depend upon the brief record found in history. The name of Capt. Gilmor appears among the nine charter members of Monterey Lodge, No. 110, A. F.& A. M., which held its first meeting in Monterey May 20 1860. The it is as follows, and shows Capt Gilmore was the last of the Charter members: James C. Newman, Austin W. Campbell, William M. Chew, George V. Fraley, John S. McNulty, William Kincaid, Peter Kincaid, Conrad Kramer, Samuel Gilmor. At this meeting the names of Thos. H. Slaven, Jesse M. Chitister and Jesse A Bussard were presented for membership. Deceased had long been a member of the M. E. Church South, and in the exercise of his rare talent for music rendered real and special service. No one had a greater love for song, and he possessed a voice of such remarkable melody and sweetness as to impress all who heard him. Funeral services were held at Green Hill church Monday afternoon conducted by Rev. Mr. Rosenberger of the Green Bank charge. Both sermon and music were mentioned as most impressive and appropriate. Interment was in the cemetery nearby. Birth Date from Death Certificate
