Gilmore. He was born in Ohio on June 24, 1831 and died in Bates County Missouri on August 7, 1904. He married Cornelia C. Loomis (Oct. 23, 1939 - December 22, 1910) in Indiana on April 3, 1859. Her grave marker indicates that she was born in Ravenna and I have seen some evidence suggesting that Henry was born in Portage County as well. His son (my great-grandfather), Arthur Loomis Gilmore was born in Ohio on December 31, 1864 and died in Bates County Missouri on August 12, 1936. Through census records I know that Henry's father was born in Ohio and his mother was born in Pennsylvania. According to the 1900 Bates County census, Cornelia had a total of nine births with six living children. I know of one other child, Laura, who was born in Ohio on August 26, 1860. Another child, Mittie Hannah, was born in Indiana on July 28, 1870. I know they were in Missouri by 1877 because their daughter Lila (1875-1877)! is buried in Bates County beside Henry and Cornelia. I do not know who Henry's parents are and have reached a dead end in my Missouri-based research. Any information about his family would be valuable.
