James & Martha Gilmore 1897 James Heard and Martha Camilla (CARTWRIGHT) GILMORE lived 4 miles West of Talbotton (according to James' obit). This should be near Geneva.
James Heard GILMORE and the lady in the gateway is
Martha Camilla (CARTWRIGHT) GILMORE.
The lady behind the gate has not been identified, but the
GILMORE's had four unmarried daughters. My assumption is that
it is Martha Ann GILMORE or Sarah E. GILMORE.
Three of the four unmarried daughters are buried with their parents in
Cox Cemetery near Geneva, Talbot County, GA (Sarah E., Martha Ann, and
Clara).
Sarah E. - b: 22 Feb 1847 - d: 17 May 1899
Martha Ann - b: 1 Feb 1852 - d: 4 Jun 1907
Clara - b: 1 Apr 1858 - d: 29 May 1941
Parents:
James H., Sr. - b: 3 Mar 1821 - d: 22 Sep 1905
Martha Camilla - b: 21 Aug 1821 - d: 30 May 1898

Her short 43 years, 9 months were busy. The family relocated Talbot County to Harris County, Georgia (1900 Census), and then to Van Zandt County, Texas. The move to Texas was made by rail boxcar.
