43) According to Hurling Down the Pine, (p. 45), the management
of the Gilmour Company may have passed into the hands
of the sons of John Gilmour and their cousin as early as
1873. However, as Allan jr. was only age 45 in 1903 (see
footnote #62) and therefore only 15 in 1873, and also David,
his brother, would only be 21 In 1873 (the 1881 Census
records David Gilmours age as 29), I therefore do not
think that te three sons took over the management of the
company until their father's death in 1877. They may have
received legal ownership of the company in 1873 but were
not able to exercise the powers of management until several
years later. Pioneer Life in the Bay of Quinte, (P. 368).
also claims that John Gilmour carried on the management of
the company until his death and then his three Sons and a
cousin took over.

The report in the Courier claims that she was the daughter
of Allan Gilmour and the sister of David. This does not
make sense however as there are a couple of references
(Pioneer Life in the Bay of Quinte, p. 368, and Hurling Down
The Pine, p. 45) to David Gilmour's father being John while
Allan was the name of David's grandfather as well as his
brother.

82) Trenton Courier, September 13, 1883. A report in the
Courier on October 11, 1883 claimed that the 'Monarch' cost
nearly $85,000. This figure seems too high considering
the year (1883) and so one must consider thic figure to be
a typographical error. There is no question however that
the 'Monarch' was, as the Courier claimed on July 19, 1883,
'One of the best [fire] engines in America."

170) There is a reference in the Trenton Courier on December
7. 1893 to the three Gilmour children, two daughters and a
son, leaving for Europe with their parents. This supports
the claim that they had only, three children. (owever there
may have been a fourth child, another daughter.
On January 1, 1903, the Trenton Courier reported that "Mrs.
J. Herbert Reapath of Montreal spent Christmas with her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Da-rid Gilmour." Since their daughter
Hazel would only have been twelve at this time, it would
not have been her that was referred to. It also could
not have been Carrie, who would have been twenty-two at
this time, since the announcement of her engagement in the
Trenton Courier on November 16,1905 refers to her as 'Miss'
Carrie Gilmour. Therefore, there is the possibility that
there may have been another daughter, slightly younger
than Carrie though I have found no other reference except
that of January 1, 1903.

177) The Trenton Assessment Records for 1891 show nine
people living at the Gilmour residence, five of whom were
between the ages of twenty-one and sixty, The 1895 records
show that there were eleven persons living there, six of
whom were between the ages of twenty-one and sixty. In
1896 there were eight persons living at the residence.

168) There are no newspaper references to David Gilmour prior
to the entry in the Trenton Courier on March 18, 1880 to the
effect that "Mr. David Gilmour's residence has been lately
erected and worthy of notice." By this time however, the
Gilmour's had already purchased the house at #5 Mannora
Street, Trenton, from Mr, Charles Francis (Instrument #
01489, Francis to Gilmour, January 10, 1880), the very
man who had spoke out against the'Gilmour influence' in
1876. The newspaper sources are not complete for this period
however so it is quite possible that there was an earlier
reference to David Gilmour in Trenton, The Hastings County
Directory for 1879-80 lists him as living on the north side
of Gilmour Street, Trenton, At that time, Gilmour Street
was that section of Bay Street that now lies between Dundas
Street East and Sidney Street. It is therefore quite possibl
that the Gilmours lived in the house at # 12 Bay Street. first
and then moved into the house at #5 Marmora Street.. If
this were so, then the Courier entry of March 18, 1880 may
have been refering to the house at #12 Bay Street having
been lately erected. If it was just "lately erected" in
1880, then David Gilmour probably did not come to Trenton
much earlier than the time of its completion.
