GILMORE, APOLLOS, was born in Wrentham, Mass., May 24, 1768, and died in Walpole, April 
15, 1854. He came to Walpole soon after his majority, and lived where his daughter, Mrs. Robert 
Barnett, now lives. He was a cooper by trade, as many families living in town today can show 
specimens of his honest, thorough handiwork. For more than fifty years he rang the old town bell on the 
hill, and such was his punctuality in the discharge of his duty that people used to remark that "Glilmore’s 
clock regulated the sun." He rang the bell at noon and at nine o’clock at night; and the duration, number 
of strokes, and intervals in ringing did not vary from the beginning to the end of the year, so methodical 
was he. Mr. Gilmore married three times. His first wife was Julia Heaton, and by her he had one son, 
Lewis, b. June 17, 1792, in Bellingham, Mass.; m. Emily, dau. of James Campbell. His second wife was 
Susannah Reed. Ch. II. Harriet G., b. Jan. 27, 1800; in Robert Barnett. (See Barnett.) III. George 
Shepard, b. Oct. 22, 1812; d. Oct. 25, 1815.
