GILLHAM, who has been a resident of this county nearly twenty years, settled upon his present farm on section 13, in Waverly Precinct, in 1869. He was born in Greene County, Ill., Oct. 11, 1827, and is the son of Charles and Clarinda (Lusk) Gillham, who were natives respectively of South Carolina and Georgia. The parents of our subject, in 1833, left Illinois and migrated to Grant County, Wis., settling on a farm, where they spent the remainder of their days, the father dying about 1864, and the mother is 1878. Of the twelve children comprising the parental family seven are now living, namely: Jane, the wife of John Kennedy, of Wisconsin; Thomas C.; John G.; Sarah, Mrs. James Mitchell; Charles W.; Elizabeth, the wife of James Lytle, of Nebraska; and Margaret, Mrs. William Joslin, who lives in Wisconsin. Mary, who died about 1858, was the wife of James Blundell, of Colorado. The others died in childhood. The subject of this biography was reared to manhood on the farm in Wisconsin, residing there until 1850. In the summer of that year he crossed the plains to California, and followed mining on the Pacific Slope until about 1855. In the spring of that year he returned to Wisconsin, via the Nicaragua route and New York City, and resumed farming in La Fayette County, Wis., until startingfor Nebraska in the spring of 1869. His first purchase of land in this county was 160 acres, to which he subsequently added until he now has a fine tract, 320 acres in extent, most of which he has brought to a good state of cultivation, and has put up substantial and convenient buildings. Mr. Gillham, after laying the foundations for a future home, was united in marriage, Oct. 12, 1870, to Miss Jane Hart, who was born in Grant County, Wis., Aug. 15, 1849, and is the daughter of Ebenezer and Eveline (Gilson) Hart, who were natives of Scotland, and died in Wisconsin when their daughter Jane was quite young. Besides herself there were two more girls in the parental family: Sarah, now the wife of John Clevenstine, and Mary, Mrs. John Vaughn, of Minnesota. Our subject and his wife began the journey of life together at their pleasant home, and in due time became the parents of two sons and two daughters, namely: Charles D., Carl E., Ida May and Ina Belle. Mr. Gillham has very little to do with public matters, but uniformly votes the Republican ticket. With the exception of the time spent in California, he has mostly been employed in agricultural pursuits, although for a time he worked in the lead mines of Grant County, Wis.
