pneumonia was feared. This was
averted but a complication of the
kidneys, the lungs, the heart and his
head made his case ccritical. Mrs.
Gilmore was called on Wednesday OF
that week and has been with him
constantly. Saturday, April 9th, his
children, Alexander of Macon, Ga,
and Mrs. H. b. Chandler of Fort Nor

lived,
General and Mrs. Gilmore have
made their winter home at Hotel
Low, Bradford, but their summers
'nave been spent at Birchmere Cot
tage, Lake Morey, where they have
one OF the finest homes around the
lake. Here they have entertained
their friends and enjoyed the pleasure
of home making. But it was here
that Gneral Gilmore received all
injury which has directly affected his
health since. Three years ago while
having some repairs made on Birch
mere he hit his head against the
staging with such force as to throw
him to the ground. He was i'll for
weeks, but seemed to regain his
health by early fall. However, he
never fully got over the effects OF
the injury. The next year, while in
Burlington he was very i'll for sew
eral weeks from being overcome by
the heat, while attending muster.
While he has been fairly well he has
not enjoyed robust health since the
injury at Lake Morey.

secretly hurried forward to Ely sta
ton from which three companies
were forwarded aided by another
company which made a detour of the
hill and captured the magazine at a
critical time.
In 1856, Col. Gilmore was elected
Quartermaster of the State and had
made many important changes and
had been instrumental in raising the
standard of efficiency of the National
Guard. He had taken a great amount
been to make it as near perfect as
possible.
The same may be said of his posi-
ton as Adjutant General to which
he was appointed in 1900 by Cover
nor Smith to fill an unexpired term
He caused an almost complete reno
walton of the archives in which are
kept valuable papers connected with
this department in the State House
and the satisfaction which he has
given the people is evidenced by his
repeated elections to both offices.
Gen. and Mrs. Gilmore were among
the best known people in their home
town and throughout the State. He
married in 1866, Mary T. Haselton
and there were two hildren, Alex
ander II. Gilmore, a journalist, and
Catherine May, wife of Harry r.
Chamberlain, of the regular army.

eral improvement in trade and note
that manufacturing plants are well
supplied with new business. Collec-
tions are only fair. Reports from
Montpelier indicate an improvement
in all branches of business. Labor is
well employed and weather condi-
lions during the past week have fav-
ored retail trade. Considerable new
building work is reported by Barre
contractors. Granite sheds are en-
ployed to capacity and new business
is coming in fairly we'll Benning-
ton reports some new building work
under way. Labor is well employed
generally. Returns from maple sugar
manufacturers in that section show
an excellent quality but the amount
was below the average season. At
Bellows Falls manufacturing plants
are well employed. Dealers in build
ing material report larger demand
generally. Retail trade continues
about the same while collections are
reported as a little quiet. Brattle-
boro manufacturing plants report in
dustries employed at full force and
capacity. There are but few, if any
idle men. Retail trade has opened ~
well for spring trade. Considerable
new building work is under way al
Middlebury and this has made brisk
demand for all classes of building
material The wood working plant
at East Middlebury is employed t
full capacity. While general retail
trade has been little quiet the
outlook for the future is better.
