• Biography: Profile of Stewart Gillmor in a Scott County history: "Stewart Gillmor. The name of Gillmor is an old and familiar one in Scott county, the family having been associated with the agricultural life o eastern Iowa from pioneer times down to the present, and he whose name introduces this review was one of the influential and substantial farmers of Allens Grove township, where he spent much of his life after coming to the new world, and it was on his home farm here that he died December 16, 1902. [914] Mr. Gillmor was a native of County Sligo, Ireland, born July 27, 1832, a son of Stewart and Rebeca (Hart) Gillmor. The latter had previously been married to a Mr. Baker [sic] and had one son, Nicholas, who was drowned in the Wapsipinicon river. Mr. and Mrs. Gillmor emigrated to America, arriving in Davenport on the 12th of April 1847. The father first purchased forty acres of land, which he planted to wheat, this tract being located where the Orphans Home now stands. After residing in that section of Scott county for a period of four or five years, the father preempted eighty acres of land north of Long Grove, which became his permanent place of abode, and where the parents reared their family of four sons and two daughters, as follow: Eliza, who married Samuel Ramsey but she has since passed away; Stewart, of this review; Isaac, who departed this life in 1909; his home being in Denison, this state; John, who died in youth; Margaret Jane, the deceased wife of Alexander Boyle; and Hugh, who is also deceased. Stewart Gillmor, the eldest son and second in order of birth, shared with the other members of the family in the trials and privations they had to bear in establishing a home in a new and unsettled country. He remained under the parental roof until he reach mature years and then, in connection with his brother Isaac, secured from the government three hundred and twenty acres of land in Winfield township, this tract lying north of Donahue. Stewart Gillmor at once began the cultivation and improvement of the land and made his home thereon until about the close of the Civil war, when he disposed of that property and invested his money in three hundred and twenty-three acres located on sections 26, 27, 34, and 45, Allens Grove township, and since his demise the family have added twenty-seven acres to it on section 27. Mr. Gillmor gave his time and attention to the improvement and further development of this farm and it is now a valuable property. Although he was modest and retiring by nature, little inclined to conversation, he was a man of much influence in the community and it was due to his efforts and largely to his financial aid that the house of worship, known as the Church of God, was erected on his farm. Aside from his many other acts of kindness, which will long be remembered, this will stand as a lasting monument to his religious zeal. Mr. Gillmor, also in a quiet way, exerted his influence in the political circles of Scott county. He was stanch [sic] in his advocacy of the republican party and its principles and cast his first presidential vote for Fremont, while his last ballot supported William McKinley. Mr. Gillmor had passed his seventieth year, when on the 16th of December, 1902, he was called from this life. His ideals, his personality, the history of his life and his profound sense of integrity and honesty could be made the text of a lesson from which the younger generation could study success. Mr. Gillmor had spent forty-four years of weed bliss with his wife, who bore the maiden name of Mary A. Connor, their marriage being celebrated in 1858. She was born in Perth, Ontario, Canada, June 26, 1839, a daughter of John and Ellen (Bryan) Connor, who were natives of Ireland but spent some years in Canada and came to Scott county in 1846. With the widow seven children survive the death of Mr. Gillmor, these being: John Stewart, who conducts a hotel in Los Angeles, California; Margaret J., who is with her mother; R. Ellen, who is engaged in teaching in Durango, Colorado; William L., a practicing physician in Kansas City, Missouri; Hugh H., who resides on a part of the homestead farm; Frank A. E., who is with his mother and manages the remainder of the farm; and I. Fenton, who is a student in the Iowa State University. Mrs. Gillmor is a lady of many estimable qualities and enjoys the high regard of a large circle of friends and acquaintances."
