Saturday, December 15, 1917, at 4:15 in the afternoon, William C. Gilmer of Jeffers was at the Rowe ranch on Wall creek, Upper Madison valley, rounding up a herd of his cattle. With him was William Mainwaring, a young man who had been in his employe for several months. Mr. Gilmore was riding a few feet in advance along a trail when he suddenly raised in his saddle, uttered a series of groans, stiffened, and fell slowly backward until his head and shoulders rested on the horse, then slid gently to the ground. Mainwaring immediately dismounted and ran to his assistance, raised the afflicted man's head in his arms, when, with a last long breath he whispered "Good-bye" and life had departed. Assistance immediately was summoned from a nearby house and his body removed there until his family near Jeffers could be notified and a conveyance sent for its removal home. Physicians pronounced the cause of death to have been apoplexy. William C. Gilmer was born at Marshall, Salina county, Mo., March 20, 1866, and came to Montana with his parents when about 10 years old, first locating near Meadow Creek, on the Madison valley, and later removing to the ranch near Jeffers, which was his home at the time of his death. A number of years ago Mr. Gilmer affiliated himself with Virginia City Lodge No. 1, A. F. & A. M., and it was under auspices of this organization, assisted by brothers of the Masonic lodge at Jeffers, that his funeral was conducted Monday afternoon at the cemetery, Rev. T. W. Bennett of the Episcopal church at Jeffers having previously read the burial service of that church at the house. Interment was in the beautiful valley cemetery at Jeffers. Mr. Gilmer was generally known as one of Madison valley's most progressive stockmen. It was a trait of his to have only the finest of cattle and horses and breeding animals from his herds were in active demand from all parts of the country. On November 10, 1915, at Bozeman, Mont., he was united in marriage to Miss Anna L. Howe, who is left to mourn his untimely taking away. Other surviving relatives of Mr. Gilmer are Robert Gilmer, a brother, who resided on the home ranch with him; Elias Gilmer of Warm Springs, this state, and Ray Gilmer of Salt Lake, brothers; and Mrs. Lyon of North Dakota, Mrs. Schreiver of the Gallatin valley and Mrs. M. A. Switzer of Jeffers, sisters. Contributor: RunninonMT (49509864)
