Obituary: Rock County, Wisconsin: John C. GILLIES ************************************************************************ Submitted by Ruth Ann Montgomery, June 2005 © All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.org/copyright.htm ************************************************************************ John C. Gillies was born in the Town of Rutland, Dane County, Wisconsin. His parents were David and Elizabeth Gillies. John lived there until he was ten years old when the family moved to the Town of Union, near Cooksville. His home was in the Town of Union until 1887 when he moved to this city and lived in the same house on Church Street, until his death the morning of March 26th. He attended country schools and later Evansville Seminary and Milton College, taught school in his earlier years, but most of his active and business energy was applied to his agricultural interests. He was naturally quiet, unassuming and a lover of home, books and music, an uncomplaining sufferer during his long and painful illness. The burial services were from the home, Monday at 2:30 p.m. Rev. Stephens of the Baptist church officiating, interment being in Maple Hill Cemetery. CARD of Thanks We desire, through the Evansville Review to extend our sincere thanks to all who contributed flowers and service during the long sickness, death and burial of our brother John C. Gillies. March 31, 1921, Evansville Review, p. 5, col. 4, Evansville, Wisconsin
