Hiram Gilmore came to Farley about 1869/70 to have his eyes treated at the Wilson Eye Infirmary. Shortly afterwards he married Miss May McCue and made his home here. Mr. Gilmore was prominently connected with the fraternal orders, including the Masonic Order in which he helped to organize in 1869. At the time of his death, Mr. Gilmore was the District Lecturer in that organization. Hiram was an agnostic. He worked as a carpenter and cabinet-maker by trade. He was born on a farm near Jamestown, Wisconsin Nov. 4, 1837. Hiram was 69 when he died March 24, 1906. He had been complaining for several weeks of a “creeping paralysis”. He died while visiting his sister in Georgetown, Wisconsin. Burial was at Fairview cemetery. Mrs. Mary Gilmore (1837-1925) was buried near her husband. The family residence is now the Pat and Julie Simon home at 201 1st St. South.
