Mr. Gilbert had been sick but a short time. Just two weeks ago, he was suddenly stricken with paralysis of the brain. At first it was thought he would recover. He seemed to be getting along as well as could be expected up to the ninth day. On that day he had another slight attack and from then on sank slowly Thc deceased was a native of Herkimer County, New York. He was born in August 1825, and was consequently 66 years and 6 months of age at his death. He started across the plains for California in 1849 and arrived in the state in 1850. In 1852 he removed to this county, where he continued to reside up to the time of his death. He was a surveyor by profession. In the fall of 1870, he was elected county surveyor and served two years. In 1872, he again received the nomination and was elected serving two more years. Since then he has repeatedly refused the office, preferring to spend his leisure time at his ranch on the top of the mountain.
On June 11, 1859, he was united in marriage to Miss Anna Watkins, daughter of the late Captain Watkins. A devoted wife and seven children, George, Wm., Henry, Mrs. Al Green, Emma, Jessie and Eva survive him.
The remains were interred at Union Cemetery. The funeral took place from his late residence on last Saturday at 2 o’clock under the auspices of the San Mateo County Pioneers, of which society the deceased was a member. Funeral services were held at the residence, Rev. J.L. Rathbone officiating.
