GILMORE: Samuel Gilmore was born in Coventry, Chenango county, N.Y., July 29, 1826, and died at his home in West Bainbridge, N.Y. [Chenango Co.], Jan. 5, 1895. Brother Gilmore was converted in early life, and soon united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which he ever remained a faithful and consistent member. He was married Feb. 12, 1852, to Miss Mary A. Ireland, who survives him. Aside from the years spent in the service of his country and three years spent in Binghamton, N.Y., he lived near the place of his birth. He was an esteemed member of the community in which he lived and will be greatly missed among his neighbors and in the church of his choice. In the year 1863 he enlisted in the union service and was attached to the Fifth New York heavy artillery, in which he continued nearly three years. His soldier comrades pay him this tribute: "He was loyal to his country and to his God. A Christian in camp and on the battlefield." He was an honored member of the H.H. Beecher post, No. 582, G.A.R., in the village of Bainbridge, N.Y., and an enthusiastic worker therein. One of its earliest members, he was the first to be "mustered out of service." After the funeral service at the Methodist Episcopal church in West Bainbridge, conducted by his pastor, the Rev. T.F. Hall, the body was taken in charge by the H.H. Beecher post, and followed by a large cortege, was borne to the West Bainbridge cemetery, where the impressive service of the G.A.R was held under the direction of the post commander and chaplain.--T.F. Hall
