Kate’s notes:  Allan Gulliland (b. 5 July, 1873) was the son of John Carss Gilliland and Mary Falconer Crevar, and the older brother to John Alexander Gulliland, a Glasgow lawyer who emigrated to Saskatchewan, Canada. John Alexander' s obituary appears in the Gilliland Trails library's obituary collection for Canada.
    The only portion of this text I could not clearly decipher was, unfortunately, the maiden name of Mr. Gilliland’s widow. If you have more information on this family, please contact me at hpuppet@frontier.com

DEATH OF MR. ALLAN E. 
GULLILAND.
_____________

    The death took place yesterday at his residence, Barleith, Dumbreck, of Mr. Allan E. Gulliland, oil importer, Glasgow. Mr. Gulliland, who was 39 years of age, was for many years a prominent figure in musical and social circles. He had been seriously ill for some time, and, while latterly hope of his recovery could scarcely be entertained, the announcement of his death will be received with surprise as well as with deep regret by his many friends among all classes in the city. Mr. Gulliland, who was a son of Mr. J. C. Gulliland, of Messrs Robert McTear and Co., auctioneers, was educated at the High School, Glasgow, and abroad, where he acquired an initmate knowledge of several languages. He took an active interest in the work of the French and German Clubs of Glasgow Atheneum, and frequently appeared in the dramatic productions of these societies. It was, however, through his connection with the Orpheus Club, of which he was one of the founders, that he was best known in the city. Possessed of great dramatic and musical talent, he filled leading parts in most of the productions organised by the club since 1894, and in the course of that period he appeared with ever increasing distinction in all the operas of the Savoy series. Through the medium of the Orpheus Club and in other capacities as an amateur entertainer Mr. Gulliland was the means of raising large sums of money for local charities. A man of singularly genial disposition, he was ever ready to give his services in aid of charitable and benevolent objects. His widow, who prior to her marriage was Miss Jessie [Huynsen], also took a prominent part in the performances of the Orpheus Club, of which her husband was president at the time of his death. Mr. Gulliland has also left two of a family.
