Nancy Miami Gilmore daughter of John and Sarah Trotter Gilmore, was born Nov. 18, 1844 in Gallia County and died at her home in Chambersburg, March 29, 1921, aged 76 yrs 4 months and 11 days, after a lingering illness of four months. She had an attack of pneumonia and never seemed to regain her strength. She gradually failed and at last succumbed to death from heart disease.
She was married to Ithamar J. Boston at Mercerville by Rev. Caldwell, October 24, 1866.
She has been a life-long resident of this county with an exception of a few years when they lived in Bridgeport, Belmont Co., Ohio.
She was a good woman and a devoted wife. A kind and generous neighbor and a sincere friend in time of need. She was always ready to lend a helping hand to all humanity. Her works will follow her. She hath done what she could to administer to the sick when and where she could. To sending flowers for the dead to all the funerals in the neighborhood, caring for the graves in Bethel Cemetery without regard to whose they were, stranger, relative, or friend, strewing flowers on all alike. This community has met with a sad loss for she will be greatly missed.
She was known as Aunt Am to a host of friends, and children loved her dearly.
She leaves to mourn their loss a devoted husband, they had lived happily together for 54 years.
Our sympathy goes out to him and her two brothers, M. L. Gilmore of Huntington W. Va. and T. W. Gilmore of Chesapeake, O. and to the only sister, Mrs. Phebe Pollock of Huntington, W. Va.
