Mr. Gilson began teaching at the age of seventeen years, and successively taught in the States of Vermont, New Hampshire, and New York. From the latter State in the spring of 1869, he came to California and engaged in teaching in Alameda County, and continued in his chosen profession until elected County Superintendent of Schools in 1877.
Having served the county for a term of two years, he was at the following election re-elected for three years, but resigned the office in March, 1882, to take the position of superintendent of the Oakland city schools. He is married and has two children. [A third child was born after publication.]
