Charles son of John and Matillda (Robinson) Gilliland.
The Lake Odessa Wave, Friday, February 7, 1908
Following closely the announcement in last week's Wave of the critical condition of Mr. Chas. Gilliland at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Alvin Bever north of town, he passed away early Friday morning surrounded by all eight of his children, living just a week lacking a few hours, from the time the stroke of paralysis took him.
Mr. Gilliland was born at Hagerstown, Maryland, June 27, 1826 and died January 31, 1908, aged 81 years, 7 months and four days. He came with his parents, when a small boy, to Van Wert county, Ohio.
At the age of twenty three he was united in marriage to Miss Rachel Meece of that county to which union were born fourteen children, ten boys and four girls, eight of whom are living, and whose names are as follows, John of Wamego, Kansas; William of Paulding, Ohio, and Mrs. Alva Biblet, T.B. Gilliland, Mrs. A. J. Bever, and Edward, Frank and Lenox all of Lake Odessa and this vicinity. One daughter, Mrs. Mary Barkdull died about twelve years ago.
After thirty-one years of happy wedded life, Mrs. Gilliland departed this life in the year 1880 at Van Wert. In 1883 Mr. Gilliland moved his family to Michigan settling on the farm now owned by Wm. Hansbarger north of town, which he had purchased a year or so before and where he lived until about seven years ago, since which time he has made his home with his children, visiting around among them at pleasure.
Besides the children he leaves to mourn his departure twenty grandchildren, three great grandchildren, one brother, five sisters and a host of warm friends. He was a man liked by everybody, always being of a kind and obliging disposition. He had been a devoted follower of the Christian faith for many years; being a great Bible student, his Bible was his constant companion and a source of great comfort to him.
The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at the Congregational church conducted by the pastor, Rev. Prestidge and was largely attended, though blustery and bitter cold the day, and interment was made in Lakeside cemetery. Mrs. Israel Cave, a sister, of Lowell and son Ed Cave and wife were here to attend the funeral also James Barkdull of Belding, Bert Gilliland of Grand Rapids and Orley Gilliland of Portland, all grandsons.
