Died:
A pioneer newspaper man of Minnesota, one of the few remaining Civil War veterans, and one of the first settlers of Alexandria, is gone with the passing of Joe Gilpin, who died at his home in this city on Monday of this week, aged almost 85 years.
An old time printer, very few of whom are left today, Joe Gilpin learned the trade back in New York state in the shop of the Franklin Printing Company at Buffalo. He worked at the printing trade at Rochester and at Boston, too. And served in the 74th New York and 60th Massachusetts regiments during the Civil War and in 1867, like many other veterans of that war, he came West. He first took up a homestead north of what was then little more than the trading post of Alexandria. Farming didn't appeal to him, though, and three years later, on December, 1870, he bought that pioneer newspaper of the village, the Post. For five years he conducted that paper and then decided to go East again. He returned to Buffalo and engaged in the electrotyping business. But a couple of years later the call of the West lured him back to Alexandria, to spend the remaining half century of his life here. He founded the Douglas County News and ran it for sixteen years until in 1894 when he sold the News to Charley Mitchell of St. Cloud, who consolidated it with the Post into the Post-News. Mr. Gilpin then retired from the newspaper business.
Joseph Gilpin was born at Lockport, New York, on October 4, 1842, and was thus 84 years, nine months and nine days old at the time of his death. He spent most of his boyhood at Buffalo, New York. In 1869 he was united in marriage to Miss Sarah Walker, who survived him, together with two daughters and a son: Mrs. Nellie B. Fredenberg of Minneapolis, Mary T. Gilpin, principal of the grade school at Hopkins, and William Selby Gilpin, editor of the Osseo News, at Osseo, Minnesota. A sister, Mrs. Johnston of Thorold, Ontario, is living and another sister, Mrs. N. J. Jenkins, died May 20th this year.
In the early days of the village, Mr. Gilpin held several responsible positions. He was for a number of years town supervisor and a member of the village board of education. He was also active in Masonic lodge circles and in the G. A. R.
The Masonic lodge will have charge of the funeral which will be held from the home this (Thursday) afternoon. Rev. Harry Blunt will preach the funeral sermon. The six surviving members of the G. A. R. will act as honorary pallbearers: Thomas Cooper, F. J. Stevens, T. W. Critchette, Luther South, Frank Guiles and G. J. Strang.
(Park Region Echo, 15 July 1926)

Joseph married Sarah Walker in 1869. Sarah (daughter of Daniel Walker and Sarah Baird) was born on 23 Apr 1853 in Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 4 Mar 1933 in Minneapolis, Hennepin, Minnesota, United States; was buried in Kinkead Cemetery, Alexandria, Douglas County, Minnesota, United States.
