William Lincoln Gilkeson. The late William L. Gilkeson, whose widow and family 
are now residing in Davis township, Henry County, was born on August 6, 1864,

George Nelson Gilkeson, who settled in Cass County, Missouri, in 1868. William L. 
Gilkeson was reared to young manhood in Cass County and was there married and 
engaged in agricultural pursuits until his death. After his death, Mrs. Gilkeson 
removed to Garden City, Missouri, where she resided until 1915, and then came to 
her native county of Henry and purchased a farm of eighty-two acres in Davis 
township. Mr. Gilkeson was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church and was 
an excellent citizen, industrious, energetic, and stood high in the community in 
which he resided. He was fraternally affiliated with the Ancient Order of United 
Workmen, the Knights of Pythias, the Modern Woodmen of America and the 
Independent Order of Odd Fellows. William Lincoln Gilkeson and Miss Mary J. 
Rogers of Henry County were married in 1887. Mrs. Mary J. Gilkeson was born on 
the Rogers home place in Henry County July 22, 1866, and is the daughter of 
Thomas Sidney and Lucinda (Fletcher) Rogers, who were among the earliest 
pioneer settlers of Henry County and were prominent in the affairs of this county 
during the early days. The children born to William and Mary Gilkeson are as 
follow; Mary Louise, wife of Martin E. Dunham, Sweet Springs, Missouri, mother 
of one child, Eugene Milton; Ella Florence, at home with her mother; William
