"Sketch of His Life
Edwin Gillette was born on a farm in Bertrand township, about three and a half miles southwest of here, 55 years ago. He continued to reside on the homestead until about 12 years ago, when he came to Niles and engaged in the retail grocery business, the firm name being Gillette & Hatfield, until a couple of years ago, when Mr. Gillette bought his partner's interest in the business.
The deceased was identified with Tent No. 99 of the K.O.T.M.M, of which order he was finance keeper; also with the Knights of Pythias. He was also a member of the congregation of the Baptist church, and was active in church work.
Politically the deceased was prominent in local republican politics and was serving a second term in the council as alderman from the Third ward.
Mr. Gillette was fair and honorable in his business dealings and was respected by all who knew him. He leaves a wife, one daughter and two sons, Miss Ethel and William and Ralph, all of this place."
