GILMORE, A. D. - appointment
Source: Lincoln Nebraska Courier – Sat `17 May 1902 p9
Having previously demonstrated his capability in the office, AD Gilmore was appointed steward at the Lincoln Hospital for the insane in 1900 by the governor upon recommendation of the superintendent, Dr. Greene. His efficiency promises an indefinite tenure. Mr. Gilmore was born in Putnam County Indiana in 1863 and when in his 6th year his parents removed with him to Nebraska. Here the elder Gilmore entered the mercantile business at Brownville, Nemaha County. In 1881 the family removed to Auburn when the town was first started. Mr. AH Gilmore, the father, was made county treasurer and held the office for 8 years. When he went to Auburn it was to start the first store in town. Beginning his education early the son graduated from the high school at Brownville and then went to Quincy, Ill where he took a course in a business college. During his attendance at the high school he had worked his way by toliing in the grocery store after school hours. When he returned form Quincy he was made deputy county treasurer of Nemaha County and served in that capacity two terms, retiring in 1886. Since that time he has been more or less actively engaged in business as an abstractor and real estate agent at Auburn. He was first made steward at the insane hospital in 1893-94 under the administration of Governor Crounse. In 1895 he was made district clerk of Nemaha County and in 1900 was re-elected but resigned the office on his appointment to the office of steward once again. When his time comes to retire he expects again to enter mercantile life in Auburn. His brothers are in business there and he will probably join his fortunes with them.
