SPENCER GILLETTE
Spencer Gillette, was born in Cattaraugus county, New York, in 1828, son of Joseph and Candace Gillette; was married to Maria Pratt of Allamakee county, Iowa, in 1858; came to Fredericksburg township in 1869, and settled on section 22, west one-half of the southeast quarter. He sold this farm to Levi Miller in 1877 and then went to Kansas. He returned here seven years later. In the meantime he had taken up the practice of dentistry. He died at the farm of Lemuel Pratt a few years since, leaving no children. His wife married Henry Beaver and went to North Dakota where she now lives.
