Mr.. Gilmore had been In poor health
for a year or more, complication Oh
diseases finally necessitating his going to
Abta Springs, near New Orleans, after
the close of the last session of Congress.
No intimation that his condition was crit
ical was received in this city and the
news of his death came as distinct
shock to his friends.
Mr. Gilmore was born in New orleans
In 1859. After graduating at Tulane uni
versity in 1879 he began the practice OF
law, and in 1896 was made city attorney.
This position he held until elected to
Congress last year. He is survived by
his widow, who before their marriage
was Miss Martha Frazier Nolan of As
cension parish, Louisiana, and two chill
dren, Samuel L, Gilmore, Jr, and Miss
Martha Gilmore.
The funeral probably will take place in
New Orleans next Wednesday and the
interment will be made in Metairie GEM
