Kate Maynard's Gilliland Family Album
A recently discovered photograph of Charles W. "Charley" Gilliland, circa 1900-1910, which has been restored by our webmaster, Carmen Carter.
Charley, younger brother of my grandfather, George Franklin Gilliland, was born 25 Feb 1873, at Mabees Corner, Jackson Co, Ohio and died 9 Feb 1952, in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. He is buried at Regina Cemetery.
Charley moved to Saskatchewan following the divorce from his first wife, by whom he had three daughters, only one of whom -- Huldah Elizabeth, named for her grandmother -- survived.
In Regina Charley worked as a house painter and for the Canadian Pacific Railroad, painting RR stations and freight sheds. He was married for the second time to Ruby Bernice Lemon by whom he had two children: Charles Thomas and Anne Bernice. Charles Thomas Gilliland never married; Anne became Anne Bernice Gilliland Bristow. This still vigorous mother of six lives in Alberta.
