__________________

Newspaper Man Served as Secretary to 
Two U. S. Senators

   After suffering two years from heart trouble, George E. Gilliland died yesterday morning at his home in the Champlain apartments. He had been in improved health recently and the announcement of his death was a shock to his many friends. Mr. Gilliland was 60 years of age, and is survived by his wife and a sister, Mrs. Farmer, residing in Washington.
   After long service in the newspaper field Mr. Gilliland acted as private secretary to Senator Brice of Ohio, now dead, and later in the same capacity for former Senator Clark of Montana. Mr. Gilliland’s geniality, his sound judgment, and his keen interest in public affairs won him wide acquaintance and warm friends. He enjoyed the high regard of public men of all parties and was often consulted by them by reason of his knowledge of political history and conditions. He was a member of the National Press Club and several other organizations.
