Albert Gilmore, foreman of the Mississippi Logging company, Durand,
was born at St. Stephens, Charlotte county, N. B., March 6, 1849, and
is a son of John and Charlotte (Deweber) Gilmore.  His paternal
grandfather was a native of Ireland and his grandmother of Scotland. 
The Deweber family were of English descent.  When our subject was about
three years old, his mother died leaving two sons, Fred and himself. 
His father afterward married Susan Caswell, who bore him three
children:  Frank, Charlotte (Mrs. R. Maxwell) and Rose (Mrs. O. Vox). 
In 1855 the family removed to Oshkosh, Wis., where our subject attended
the public school until seventeen years of age.  Later he worked at
lumbering with his father.  In 1869 he came to Durand and entered the
employ of the Mississippi Logging company, with which he has since been
connected.  Mr. Gilmore married Miss Theresa Wisenger, June 23, 1872,
and six children have been born to them, namely:  John, William,
George, Mary, Fred and Edward.  For a few years Mr. Gilmore lived at
Durand, but since 1878 he has resided at Round Hill.  He also owns
three farms, comprising about 500 acres, in Buffalo county, and has
given considerable attention to breeding Holstein cattle.  He is a
republican in politics and a good business man.
