Jan. 30, 1846        Charlotte Journal
   DIED, at his residence, in Cabarrus County, on the 15th inst., MR. JOSIAH 
GILMER, aged 64 years. It is but simple justice to the character of the 
deceased to say that he filled with peculiar uprightness all the offices of 
neighbor, citizen, and friend and passed the "narrow house" appointed for all 
living through the scenes of a life more than ordinarily chequered and 
eventful. In early life, he volunteered his services and marched as a gallant 
soldier to protect the defenseless frontiers of Alabama and Florida. After the 
Indians were subdued, he returned to North Carolina, to the home of his 
ancestors and engaged in the pursuits of peace. But his last years were his 
best years. About five years before his death he professed the religion of 
Christ. Under its banner he lived, in its faith he died.
