      Sedan Times-Star - September 05, 1933
      MR. S. K. GILPIN
      S. K. Gilpin, for many years a resident of this county, departed this life at the home of his son, T. S. Gilpin at Drumright, Oklahoma, on Tuesday, September 5th, aged 84 years and 18 days. His death was due to the infirmities of age and followed a gradual decline in health extending over the past three years.
      The remains were brought to Sedan Wednesday and placed in charge of H. I. Buckles, funeral director. Funeral services were held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ike Short near Monett at 2 o'clock p.m. Thursday, September 7th, conducted by Rev. J. Wayne Pinaon, pastor of the Baptist church of Sedan.
      Deceased was born at Marion, Indiana, July 17, 1849 and came west in 1890. He spent forty years in this county, engaged in farming in Monett community. During the past 18 years of his life he made his home with his son, T. S. Gilpin, first at Ponca City, Oklahoma, and for the past two years at Drumright, Oklahoma, after the family moved to that place.
      Surviving relatives are his wife, Mrs. Eliza Gilpin, two sons, C. D. Gilpin of San Francisco, California, and T. S. Gilpin of Drumright. Oklahoma, and one daughter, Mrs. Ike Short of Monett, and six grandchildren.

      Note: some of the facts in this obit do not match the records I have found. This needs more research. Eliza was living in Fulton in 1930, listed as a widow at that time. Silas was listed on the census as born in Ohio. He also married Eliza in 1884 in Missouri, obit says he came west in 1890. The numbers do not add up, he lived in Kansas for 40 years, lived with his son for 18 years, he would have had to have come west in 1875. His first wife, who he married in 1877 in Kansas, was B092 GILPIN, SILAS K 28 CHAUTAUQUA CO WALKER, LUCINDA 17 CHAUTAUQUA CO 21 OCT 1877
