An Old Pioneer Gone
T.M. Gill and Family Came to Kansas in 1879
Thomas McKee Gill was born at Slippery Rock, Butler county, Pa., March 28, 1831 and died January 4, 1920, age 88 years, 9 months and 7 days.
He was married January 20, 1859 to Sevilla Morehead and to this union eight children were born, two sons and six daughters, Robert Newell Gill deceased June 1897; James Stewart Gill of Topeka; Mrs. Hattie Rock and Mrs. Laura Duff of Lyndon; Mrs. Sadie Duff of Denver; Mrs. Iva McSherry of Boulder, Colo.; Mrs. Grace Howey of Montrose, Colo. and Mary M. Gill of Kansas City, Mo.
The family moved to Kansas in the fall of 1879 and finally settled on a farm 3 1/2 miles northeast of Lyndon where the children grew up and were educated and from which they went to homes of their own. In the fall of 1903, Mr. Gill sold his farm and moved to the east part of town where he has lived for the past sixteen years. His wife passed on August 10, 1917 after a short illness.
Mr. Gill was taken ill with heart trouble December 11 and quietly slept away Sabbath morning about 5 A.M. Beside the one son and six daughters, he leaves twenty-three grandchildren and thirteen great grand children.
He was a kind and thoughtful husband, an honored and well loved father and a neighbor who was respected and honored on account of his neighborly acts and upright integrity.
Funeral services were held from the United Presbyterian church on Tuesday at 2 P.M., Rev. Tharp taking for his text Job 5:26, “Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like a shock of grain cometh in its season.” He was among the first members of the United Presbyterian congregation and helped erect the present church building and held the office of trustee therein for many years.
