BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF GEORGE A. GILLMORE

GEORGE A. GILLMORE, capitalist, Chippewa Falls, was born in Calais, Me., Oct. 25, 1838; lived there (except a short time in New Brunswick) until he came to Chippewa Falls, in 1857. He and his brother, Horatio G., leased the lumber-mill of H. S. Allen & Co. for five years, and stocked the mill with manufactured lumber. They also leased a mill on Yellow River, in 1858, and operated that in 1859; stocked it in 1858; continued lumbering and logging for about ten years on Chippewa River and its tributaries—(Horatio G. Gillmore died in Chippewa Falls in 1864)—afterwards commenced looking after boom interests, construction, etc., doing more or less logging, until 1877; since then he has given his attention to farming, real estate investments and money loaning. Mr. G. was married in Calais, Me., in November, 1866, to Anna M. Hill, a native of Maine.
