Biography:
Citing Biographical History of Crawford, Ida and Sac Counties:

"Isaac Gillmor, one of the early settlers of Denison Township located in this county in 1869, and the following spring he located a tract of 180 acres of improved land in Washington Township, Washington County, Iowa. He made his home in this township for two years, making improvements, and then traded this property for a farm in Denison Township, where he is now residing on Section 29, on 480 acres in Denison Township.

This was but partially improved, having some broken land and a residence. He has added until he now has 766 acres, all in one body, and it is one of the finest farms in the county. He has always made a specialty of stock-raising, feeding and shipping his own stock, and has been one of the largest growers in the county. He has made cattle his leading line. He is one of the leading and representative agriculturists of the county.

Our subject was born in County Sligo, Ireland, February 14, 1835, and was the son of Stewart and Rebecca (Hart) Gillmor. In 1847 the family came to America, locating in Davenport, where the father entered a tract of eighty acres, at $1.25 per acre, and also pre-empted eighty acres. Here he remained until 1856, when he removed to Illinois, where he died. The mother died in 1867, leaving a family of eight children, our subject being the only one in this part of the State. The latter began farming for himself in 1858, by entering a tract of 160 acres in Scott County. Here he began for himself, and only ceased his farming to enter the Army when the call came for troops to suppress the rebellion. He enlisted August 1, 1861, in Company C, Second Iowa Calvary, and was mustered out of the Army as First Lieutenant, at Selma, Alabama. He was wounded at the battle of Tupelo in the head by a minie ball. He now has the murderous little bullet in his possession. The wound was almost in the center of the crown of his head. His war record is a fine one. He was at the Battles of Siege of Corinth, Franklin, Columbia, and he was in all the battles of his regiment and in all the skirmishes around Nashville, Tennessee. After the cruel war was over he returned to Scott County, and remained there until 1869, when he came to Crawford County and was one of the first settlers here in Washington Township. He is a live energetic man, desiring the good of the county in every way. He has held the office of Township Treasurer for the past fifteen years. He has also been one of the directors of the Crawford County Fair Association, and also belongs to a number of soldier associations.

Our subject was married November 30, 1865, to Miss Hannah M. Connor, who was born in 1844 and came to the States in 1846. She was reared in Scott County. They have a fine family of six children: Margaret, Grace, Nellie, Olive, Ira and Edith. Nellie was married Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 1892 to Mr. F. Goudie, of Denison, where they are located; Margaret has been engaged in school teaching for several years. Grace is also a teacher, having been teaching for three years in the Denison School. Our subject is a strong believer in education and has given his children the best of school facilities. He is a member of the John A. Logan Post No. 58, and is a Past Commander. He and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Denison. He is a self-made man, as he began with little and has worked his way up. He has fully demonstrated that farming in Iowa can be made a financial success."

• 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. 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."
