our citizens as having had charge for quite a
long period, until four or five years ago, of the
parish at Joliet HIS health becoming i'm
paired he left Joliet and was placed in charge
of the parish at Cairo but remained there only
a year or two when he went to Florida, and
finally took charge of the parish at Key West
the largest IN the state. While at Joliet he
was on close and intimate terms with the Rev.
J. l.. Steele, who then had charge of Christ
Church at Ottawa, but who afterwards went
to Key West, Florida, where, like Mr.. Gilbert
he died ain the harness" of yellow fever, both
falling in the midst of their parish labors
while visiting among and administering con-
ISOLATION to the sufferers by the fever. Mr.
Gilbert was a native of New Haven, Conn,

Seminary in New York city. In addition to
his duties as parish clergyman IN Key West,
he was superintendent of the public schools
