O. A. GILMAN, merchant, farmer and trader; P. O. Paris; is a native of
New Hampshire; son of Oscar and Belinda (Fox) Gilman, and a descendant of
him who signed the Declaration of Independence.  Our subject was raised
to agricultural pursuits, and received excellent school advantages.  In
the Spring of 1863 he entered the U.S. Service, joining the 11th
Massachusetts Battery, and participated in all the battles of the Army of
the Potomac, and, with the exception of a slight wound received at
Spottsylvania [sic], he came through the entire struggle unscathed.  He
came to Kentucky in 1866, locating in Bourbon County, where he has since
been identified with its business interests; is carrying on farming and
stock raising, being interested in the breeding of fine stock--horses
and cattle, trotting and running stock.  In 1869 he married Belle A. Todd,
a native of Buffalo, N. Y.  Mr. Gilman is a resident of Paris, and is a
large dealer in grass seed, wool, grain, salt and poultry.  He is a member
of the Episcopal Church, and of the several Masonic organizations;
A.F. & A. M., R.A.M., and Webb Commandery, at Lexington, Ky.
