John Gilbert
John Gilbert was born in March 1833, either in Bohemia or Hamburg, Germany. He immigrated to the United States by the late 1840s and settled in Brooklyn, New York, where he lived with his brother Edward. They worked as clerks there in the early 1850s, and Gilbert was naturalized on March 18, 1854. By 1860, he was living in Rockford, Illinois, and working as a druggist. He married Philona Mandeville on May 27, 1861, and their daughter Gertrude was born around 1874. The family moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana, sometime in the 1860s. In 1871, he applied for a passport, which described him as 5 feet, 7 inches tall, with grey hair and grey hair. He died in Fort Wayne on September 21, 1903.
