B. L. Gilbert is Dead
Old Resident of Warwick Country and Pioneer of State Passes Away at His Home
Funeral Largely Attended
The news that Benjimin L. Gilbert was dead brought a shock to the whole community last Thursday, June 1st. Deceased was ill for the past four months with a complication of ailments and had some of the best doctors of the community but with no avail. He was born November 5, 1848 in New York state and was 67 years of age at the time of his decease. In the year 1880, he came to North Dakota and settled at Grand Forks being engaged in the meat business with a brother at that place for about fifteen years.
After retiring from the meat business, he went into the hotel business at the same place and conducted the place known at that time as the old Ingalls House. Later he removed to Emerado, N.D., and engaged in farming and after a few years he came to Eddy county and filed on a homestead in 1900 and was engaged principally in farming ever since that time. He was of a quite disposition but was obliged at times to accept offices of service when asked to by friends. He was a member of the Yeoman lodge of Grand Forks and was a candidate of the non-partisan league for Representative of Eddy and Foster counties. He was a director of the Farmers Equity Elevator and Trading Company of Warwick and was also treasurer of the school district in which he resided. Deceased died suddenly sitting in a chair while reading the paper in his home and death came peacefully without a struggle.
The funeral services were held at the family residence in the country and the remains were interred in the Warwick cemetery, Rev. Donnelly, officiating. He leaves to mourn his death a devoted wife, one son, Allen Gilbert, two daughters, Miss Hattie and Mrs. H. S. Harris, and one brother who resides at Clyde Park, Montana. The relatives and friends of the deceased have the deepest sympathies of the entire community in their hour of sorrow. Warwick Weekly Sentinel, 6-15-1916
