I am seeking information on my great-great-grandfather Henry W. Gilmore, his wife Cornelia, and their family. Henry was born in Ohio on June 24, 1831 and died in Bates County Missouri on August 7, 1904. He married Cornelia C. Loomis (Oct. 23, 1939 – December 22, 1910) in Indiana on April 3, 1859. They are buried in the Meyer Cemetery in Bates County. His son (my great-grandfather), Arthur Loomis Gilmore was born in Ohio on December 31, 1864 and died in Bates County on August 12, 1936 and is buried in the Radford Cemetery. According to the 1900 census (Deepwater Township), Cornelia had a total of nine births with six living children. I know of four other children besides Arthur Loomis; Laura, who was born in Ohio on August 26, 1860, Mittie who was born in Indiana on July 28, 1870, Lila born on March 27 1875, and Lula born in Bates County on February 21, 1880. Mitte Gilmore-Keen and Lula Gilmore-Keen are buried in Radford Cemetery. Laura moved to Oregon with her husband (Albert Grayum) and died there. I know Henry, Cornelia, Laura, and Arthur were in Bates County by 1877 because their daughter Lila (1875-1877) is buried in Meyers beside Henry and Cornelia. Arthur was first married in 1892, but I do not have the bride's name or a date. He married Edna Elizabeth Lawson (my great-grandmother) on March 6, 1902.

I am seeking information on the two living and two deceased (as of 1900) children of Henry and Cornelia. I am also looking for information on Arthur's first marriage. If you have any additional information about the family, or know of a resource that contains this information, it would be appreciated.
