Sudden Death of Lucius Gilmore.
Mr. Lucius Gilmore of this town, died suddenly at French's hotel,
Warren, N. H., on Tuesday of this week.The circumstances of his death
as we learn them, are substantially as follows: Mr. Gilmore left his home
bythe morning train, telling his wife that he was going to Warren and
should return the same day. On reaching Warren, he went to French's hotel,
where he was accustomed to go ; but what transpired for the following hour
or two we have no knowledge. About one o'clock in the afternoon he was
found in the water closet connected with the hotel, upon his face, in an
insensible condition, and he breathed but a few times after being discovered.
He undoubtedly died of heart disease. His remains were brought to his former
home on Wednesday forenoon. Mr. Gilmore leaves a wife, and three children
by a former wife-two amiable daughters, one the wife of Seth K. Cushing
of South Boston, and another unmarried. The only son, Walter, is a promising
young machinist of Norwalk, Ohio. Mr. Gilmore was a brother of the late Gov.
Gilmore of New Hampshire, and of Addison Gilmore, a prominent railroad
man of New England, who fell dead in a ball room at Springfield, we think
some twenty-five years ago. Mr. Gilmore's age was 61 years.
For many years he was connected with the freight office of the Passumpsic
Railroad in this place, and was afterwards superintendent of the road. He
was a man of excellent natural ability. and he seemed peculiarly adapted for
a prominent position in the business world ; and high attainments seemed
to be within his easy reach.
We would be glad to leave the record here, but duty to the living forbids.
With all his large-heartedness and great ability and fine attainments, Mr.
Gilmore had a mortal enemy-an appetite for strong drink. For years he struggled
against the tempter how hard he struggled no one but God knows. Some
ten years ago we should think, it seemed as though he had conquered. For
two or three years he was free from the bondage and the happiest man in town ;
but the demon again overcame him, and for the past six or eight years it
has been a succession of reformations and falls, with less power each year to
withstand the adversary, until of late almost every one had lost hope of his
recovery. No man seemed to strive harder to overcome his appetite; few
persons ever had warmer friends, or those more faithful. They did every
thing to save him, but the demon had the mastery and conquered. It is painful
to write these things, but the young men and boys of this day should know
what terrible risks they incur when they take anything that intoxicates. A strong
body, giant intellect, splendid endowments, influential and loving friends,
are all alike powerless when the demon of strong drink once gets possession.
This is all I have found on the death of his 2nd wife so far.

Mrs. Mary Gilmore, widow of the late Lucius Gilmore, died at Blue Hill,
Maine, last week, and her remains were interred in the cemetery at this
place. Mrs. Gilmore was for many years resident of this village, and
member of the North Congregational church.
