Allan Gilmour was the son of John Gilmour (1812 - 1877) and his wife Caroline White.

Their father John ran the family lumbering firm The Allan Gilmour Company, which was first established in Scotland, when his father Allan retired.

Following the death of John Gilmour in 1877, the management of the company passed into the hands of his three sons; John, Allan, and David and their cousin John David. They changed the name to Gilmour and Company.

The company had problems however and by 1890 the company had a debt of nearly $700,000. This was the result of a number of factors. On August 16, 1883, a company sawmill at Hull was totally destroyed by fire, a loss of over one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. It was not rebuilt As a result, the company had a reduced production capacity. There were also lower profits as a result of the lower prices which lumber was bringing. The company also suffered from mismanagement. A company memo singled out Allan as a major cause of this mismanagement. In fact, it was suggested that it was perhaps "better to let Allan go altogether.''

The partnership of Gilmour and Company was dissolved in September 1890. Allan and David set up Gilmour and Company of Trenton while John and cousin John David formed a new Ottawa partnership called John Gilmour and Company.

Allan split his time between Trenton and Ottawa. Though he helped run the operations along with David, he never became as involved as his brother. Quite possibly this was due to his previous mismanagement of the firm in the Gatineaus. In December 1893, he met with the Minister of Public Works in Ottawa to discuss dues on lumber passing through the Trent Canal.

In 1896 Allan and David decided to construct a sawmill at Mowat Village on Canoe Lake, and the mill was up and running by the Spring of 1897.

They also constructed two impressive summer homes on an island in Canoe Lake just about a mile from the shores of Mowat Village. The island is now called Gilmour Island.
The operation in Canoe Lake lasted only 5 seasons. The country was recovering from a national depression and the Gilmour had tremendous debt. By September 1901 the mill ceased operations.

Some believed, that like his father and under tremendous stress, Allan committed suicide. However, the corner's report concluded " Accidental death: Shot himself in the back of the head while preparing for a fishing trip."

The Trenton Courier reported that;
"Mr. Allan Gilmour of Ottawa shot himself in the head while handling his rifle in his own house on Tuesday evening.
Mr. Gilmour having resided in Trenton three years ago in partnership with his brother David, was a very fine man, of quiet demeanour and highly respected, aged 57."

4335 Died On Sunday morning last, after a short illness, Francis Allan, Esq. Postmaster of this place, age 51.  The death of Mr. Allan is a source of great grief to his numerous friends and family.  The deceased held the office of District Land Agent and performed the duties thereof satisfactorily as well as that of Postmaster.  He had also lately been appointed by the District Council to the important trust of County Superintendent of Common Schools which, had he been spared, we have no doubt he would have performed.  His demise is sincerely regretted generally and a loss to this place. The funeral takes place today at 2:00.

4343 Died, at her residence in Dalhousie on the 7th December, Isabella Chalmers, wife of William Purdon, Sr., after an illness of two weeks and three days. The deceased was born in the town of Hamilton, Scotland on the 3rd Sept., 1815(?) and was married to William Purdon on the 5th January, 1835. The deceased was the mother of a large family, 9 sons and 4 daughters, all of whom survive her except one little daughter who died in infancy. They are likewise all married with one exception and several of them have sons and daughters married who have young families. The deceased was a woman of great practical knowledge. She was well read and until failing health compelled her to retire she was very much sought after in all cases of trouble particularly in cases of midwifery where her long practical knowledge enabled her to be very successful; indeed so much so that when she was present the late Dr. Munro of Lanark would only act as an assistant. She was likewise a most sincere Christian and although she was not a member of any church, she was a sincere follower of the divine Master and took greatest pleasure in assisting the poor and afflicted without regard to creed or color and it may truly be said that she never had an enemy on earth. She was followed to the grave at the Highland Line burial ground by a large concourse of friends and neighbors. Six of her sons all fine, stalwart men were her pallbearers when her remains were committed to the earth.

Though I can find no evidence he is buried here, and he was enumerated as a Baptist on the 1851/2 Census, it is most likely he is buried here with his late wife and her memorial was broken when transcribed in 1993 and I was unable to locate the fragments in 2016.
