From "The Ochiltrees" book -----
Samuel Baldridge Gilmore's parents removed to Putnam County, Indiana, near Greencastle in 1829, when Samuel was 2 years of age. He received the educational advantages of the day, in that newly settled country; taught school for several years; was later a dry goods merchant, in Manhattan and Cloverdale, Indiana. He was one of 9 brothers, who grew to noble, useful manhood, free from bad habits and with high purposes in life. He belonged to the new school Presbyterian Church, until the churches were united; was a elder during his whole church life; was three time delegate to the General Assembly, at Saratoga, Brooklyn and Philadelphia.
On account of ill health, he made many changes of residence. He went to St. Paul, Minnesota in 1856, remained a short time in the city, then took a claim in Rice County. They left Minnesota the same year. Had they remained in Rice County, they would in all probability have been massacred by the Indians, principally the Sioux, who raided the County, during the Civil War, taking advantage of the U.S. troops being engaged elsewhere. Mr. and Mrs. Gilmore lived for a time in Falls City, the county seat of Richardson County, Nebraska, one of the garden spots of the west, at that time; and from Falls City, Nebraska, they removed to Hodgeman County, Kansas. Samuel Gilmore was elected from the County by the Republicans, to the legislature, the only one on the ticket that was elected, the Populists carring the day. Jetmore was the County seat and Kiddersville, Mr. Gilmore's P.O. since discontinued, was 22 miles distant from his home. Mr. Gilmore died at the of 87 years old.
