Theodore Weld Gillette, his son, writes of his father:

"Oberlin was at that time in the advance of most of the United States, in the advocation of the abolitionism of slavery and my father was one of the action workers in what was known as the Underground Railroad; which was used to help the runaway slaves to get into Canada. I heard him say in after years that he was instrumental in landing 143. He had narrow escapes from being shot by the infuriated owners."

"He was secretary of the first (argenialian) of the Oberlin College, Post Master of the Village and Editor of the Oberlin Evangelist. At the time of his death he was Judge of Monroe County, WI. The war had been going on for some months before he died and I was near Baltimore, MD. There was one of his articles written some twenty years before, in which he says that he had just come up the Mississippi River from New Orleans. On the boat was a man that lived in Mississippi by the name of Jeff Davis. My father predicted a war with the South and that Jeff Davis would be the leader of the South."


Robert E. Gillett came to Oberlin with President Finney and was for some time General Agent or Secretary of the College. He was also postmaster in Oberlin and was connected with the activities of the "Underground railroad" which helped in the escape of slaves to Canada.

TOMAH, WISCONSIN

The town and village of Tomah were named in honor of Chief Thomas Carron, or Tomah as the French pronounced his name, of the Menominee Indians. The first man to acquire title to any portion of the future city was Jesse Norman, who came on foot from Walworth County in 1854. The first permanent settler in the village was Robert E. Gillett, who came from Cleveland, Ohio in 1855. He made a claim, taking in all of the original plat of the village and four forties adjoining in Sec 9. In May 1855, he built a log cabin, containing four rooms, the first building of any kind in Tomah.

The state government offered great inducements to parties in search of land with thirty years being allowed to pay with only seven percent interest. In 1856 Gillett built a steam sawmill in the northern part of the village. It was the only steam mill in the Monroe County. On June 1st, 1857 Mr. Gillett had the village platted and surveyed. Charles W. Kellogg, an elder in the Methodist Church built the first frame house in the village, on the "Knoll" in the western part of the village. On the first Sunday in July 1857 Elder Kellogg delivered the first sermon in the village in a new barn built by Gillett, who said he wished to have it dedicated.

In 1856 the first school was held in a barn. In 1857 a log house was built across from Gillett's house to house the school. Also in 1857 the first grocery and drugstores were established, as well as a blacksmith shop

Robert Gillett had a dream for a city of rare spirit that would endure. Visions of a railroad center faded, but the city became even greater than the dreams. There is still that peculiar kind of charm in the Valley of the Lemonweir that is now Tomah.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------

Robert afterwards moved to Tomah, WI (giving that town its name) and again met his old friend Simeon Durand Powers, whom he had known in Ohio. Here his son Theodore Weld first met Laetitia, daughter of Simeon and later they married.

Laetitia's brother Alonzo married Mary Burrell Gillett, Theodore's half sister.

Laetitia often visited the grave of Edward Durand in Desoto, WI. It was the first grave in that town and its location is now unknown to the relatives. It was under a magnificent oak near the Mississippi.

DOWN SOUTH IN 1844

Captain R. A. Gillett of Milwaukee is a son of Robert E. Gillett, who was one of the six men who founded Oberlin College.

Robert E. Gillett held high rank among the men connected with the Underground Railroad in Ohio during the last years of slavery, and many a colored man in Kentucky and Virginia owed his freedom to his skill as an Underground Railroad manager.

1835-1837
Mr. Gillett was designated as financial agent or secretary of Oberlin College and consequently it often happened that he was made guardian for colored pupils sent from the south and elsewhere.

A wealthy citizen of Louisiana, the father of two distinct families, one white and the other dark, saw much merit in his half colored children and their mother. When he wrote his will he provided that each one of the mulatto children - four boys and two girls - should receive $10,000 and their mother a like sum. He also sent the seven to Oberlin, where the children were to be educated.

Upon the death of the wealthy man, who was also prominent in various directions, the father of at least one son who has served in the United States senate and held another very high office, besides winning the rank of colonial in the confederate army, the guardian of the Oberlin children and their mother took steps to get the $70,000 that had been provided for them in the will.

He met with bitter opposition at every step and it required six years of hard work and close application. Mr. Gillett visited New Orleans on several occasions, the last time in 1844. That time Captain Gillett, the Wisconsin man who then was 10 years of age, accompanied him. They were stopped at the St. Charles. There were unmistakable signs that Mr. Gillett would win in his fight for the children. This enraged his opponents.

One afternoon, while Mr. Gillett and his boy were in the reading room, a delegation of a dozen or so stalwart, determined-looking men approached and asked: "Are you Robert E. Gillett of Oberlin?"

"That is my name, sir, and there is where I hail from. How can I serve you?"

"Well, sir, we are authorized to come here and tell you that you have until tomorrow morning to take the boat on your way homeward."

Mr. Gillett, whose fixedness of purpose had made him all his life a stanch friend of the colored people, who many times had risked his life in defending their interests, and had also run the risk of imprisonment by aiding them in their efforts to escape from servitude, rose from his chair, and walking up close to the leader of the delegation said to him so that all in the room could hear: "Well, sir, I am authorized to say to you and the balance of your delegation and all men of your stripe, that I am in New Orleans looking after a case in the United States court and that I shall remain here until that business is concluded; and if you, or any of your delegation, or any of your kind lay a hand on me you will do so at your peril."

The delegation apparently had seen and heard enough of Mr. Gillett of Oberlin, because they "about-faced" and left the room and he remained in New Orleans until his work was done, until he had secured judgment for the full amount, with interest, making a sum of nearly $100,000. There was no further trouble. It is evident that he was not regarded as a man it was wholesome to trifle with.

They were right; he was not.

During that visit south, Mr. Gillett and his son had occasion to go to Vicksburg. They put up at a hotel. People there soon discovered who Mr. Gillett was, that he was connected with a "nigger" college and looking after a large sum of southern money that was going north to help educate "niggers" at Oberlin.

In those days Vicksburg was the abode of not a few reckless characters.

Among the men who visited the hotel and looked the northerner over; one of the few who did not scowl at him was a Judge Springer. When no one else was about the judge stepped up to Mr. Gillett and said: "I don't believe you ought to remain here over night."

Gillett wanted to know why. The judge explained that his name, home and mission were known to some rather hard customers, who did not have a very kindly feeling for him. "I will gladly entertain you where I am stopping, at a private residence." said the judge; and he did so, and after the Vicksburg business was concluded he returned to his home.

Keep this judge in mind.

While Mr. Gillett was on that southern tour he went to hear a popular southern orator. I should have added before that Mr. Gillett was editor of the Oberlin Evangelist. In a letter to the Evangelist he spoke of the meeting at which he heard the young orator in 1844. Among the other things this sturdy Ohioan and abolitionist said:

"I have this night heard a remarkable speech, delivered by a member of the Mississippi legislature, Jefferson Davis, and I want to predict, here and now, that within thirty years the south will attempt to establish a southern confederacy and that this Mr. Davis will be at the head of it."

A brother of Captain Gillett (Theodore Weld Gillette) enlisted in 1861 as a private in the Fourth Wisconsin. Later he was commissioned and was assigned to the commissary department.

While his command was at Baton Rouge in 1864, many of the southern loyal people applied for rations. One day a very old man called upon Lieutenant Gillett to say that he had lost his home and that all of his relatives among the boys and men had entered the confederate service, and that he was destitute.

"I see you bear the name of Gillett, " said the old man.

"Yes, sir, Gillett of Wisconsin."

"Did you ever live at Oberlin, Ohio?"

"I did; was born there."

"What was your father's name?"

"Robert E."

"Did he ever visit the south-was he connected with Oberlin College?"

"Yes, sir."

"Do you remember whether he once visited Vicksburg?"

"I cannot tell, sir, but I can find out by writing my brother, who, I remember, went south with my father on one or two occasions."

Without the old gentleman's being obliged to make a request for food the lieutenant gave him a generous supply and told him to come around in the course of ten days or two weeks and he would give him the information he sought. He then wrote his brother, the captain, of whom I have spoken, and asked if he remembered Judge Springer of Vicksburg. The reply went back at once that he did and that the judge had done his father and himself a great kindness by shielding them from what he thought was imminent danger. He closed by requesting his brother to do anything or everything in his power to make it comfortable for the old judge, and the request was complied with.

In the early years of statehood, Texas had an awful time protecting its citizens from the denizens of death roaming the countryside. If the Indians and Mexican weren’t dealing destruction on a wide scale, Anglo outlaws and bandits were. A newcomer to the western fringe could practically count on being attacked, and it took someone with a special sort of courage to propose pioneering anywhere outside the most heavily populated settlements. This was an area that was real frontier in the 1870's.


GILLETTE, Theodore W. (d. 1921)

Head of Fairhaven Water Company and Pioneer Good Roads Advocate Called at Age of 80.
Theodore W. Gillette, president of the Fairhaven City Water & Power company, and one of the most public-spirited men Bellingham has ever had, died at his apartments in the Hotel Leopold at 5:15 last night at the age of 80 years, five months and twenty-one days. Mr. Gillette's death comes as a shock to his numerous friends, many of whom did not know that he was seriously ill and those closest to him understanding that he was improving, as he apparently was. The immediate cause of death was a blood clot on the brain. He had been feeling unwell since he made a strenuous automobile drive to Seattle and back, and this, says his brother, Fred K. Gillette, was the beginning of his final illness, which kept him in bed about ten days. Friends of Mr. Gillette agree that he was one of the finest characters this city has ever known and that he was one of its greatest promoters. From the beginning of his residence here, extending over a period of more than thirty years, he was identified with the city's growth. The same was true of all other places where he lived, it being his nature to be among the leaders of a community and to be one of its hardest workers.
Came Here is 1889.

Mr. Gillette came to Bellingham bay in 1889, after a busy life in Texas, Idaho and other places and after long service in the Civil war. He spent a very adventurous life, it being recalled by his brother that about thirty of his friends were killed by Indians, bandits, etc., in Southeastern Texas, where he spent several years as a sheep farmer.

Mr. Gillette was born in Oberlin, O., October 20, 1840. In June, 1861, he became a volunteer in the union army, enlisting as a private in Company M, Fourth Wisconsin Mounted Infantry, and serving in that until his honorable discharge September 18, 1866. This regiment probably saw longer service than any other volunteer regiment in the Civil war. Mr. Gillette's willingness and eagerness to serve soon won him promotion. For some time he was regimental quartermaster, then brigade quartermaster and lastly lieutenant. In the midst of the war he went back home to be married and immediately thereafter returned to his regiment. His wife, Mrs. Letitia S. Gillette, died October 11, 1920.

Good Roads Enthusiast.
After his discharge from the army, Mr. Gillette went back home for a time. In 1872 he removed to Southeastern Texas and from there after six years of sheep farming and many adventures to Salt Lake City, where he lived a year or two, and thence to the Wood mining country in Idaho. In Ketchum he established a hardware store and became active in local affairs was elected to the board of county commissioners and held that office for two terms. Another of his activities was his origination of the water system of Ketchum, Idaho. He took a great interest in good roads and this interest was manifested later in Whatcom county and in Southern California, where for many years he spent his winters, residing in South Pasadena. Coming to Bellingham bay in 1889, he soon afterward organized the Fairhaven City Water & Power company, which owns the South Side water system and was active in the organization and affairs of the Fairhaven Electric Light company. He was president of both concerns. About fifteen years ago he sold the electric light company's property to Stone & Webster interests.
Served on County Board.

About 1892 Mr. Gillette was elected a member of the board of Whatcom county commissioners and two years later was re-elected. In politics he was a republican all his life, and he was enthusiastic in service to his party as he was in everything else he interested himself in. Loyalty and service, in fact, were two of his strongest characteristics, and self-sacrifice and devotion to family and friends were others.
Mr. Gillette was a member of Fairhaven Lodge, No. 73, F. & A. M.; C. R. Apperson post No. 79, of the G. A. R.; and the Loyal Legion, an organization of officers of the Civil war, his membership in this society being held in Tacoma. He was also a member of the Kulshan club and of the Chamber of Commerce.

The survivors are two sons, Halbert P. Gillette, of Chicago, one of the country's best known civil engineers, and Walter A. Gillette, of South Pasadena, Calif.; one brother, Fred K. Gillette, Bellingham, and two sisters, Mrs. E. H. Ellis and Mrs. Julia K. Adams, of Sacramento. Funeral services will be held at an hour to be announced by Harry O. Bingham. One son, Halbert, will be here Thursday and the other is expected.

Expression of Regret by J. J. Donovan
"T. W. Gillette, facing death with a smile, light of heart and brave in spirit, has passed on to join his loved ones on the other side. A gallant gentleman is gone after a long life of usefulness and honor. Truth, honor, justice were his guiding stars and he was true to them in times and places where it required the highest type of moral and physical courage. He feared neither man nor devil. He trusted and believed in god and kept His law. He has gone to his reward.
"As a youth under twenty-one he enlisted in the Wisconsin cavalry and he served with distinction through the Civil war, leaving the service with the brevet rank of major. He fought in many hand-to-had conflicts with Confederate cavalry and was severely hurt when his horse went down in one of these battles, but he refused to retire and was on duty until the end.
"After the war he undertook with a friend ranching in Texas. His friend was killed by Mexican raiders, his stock stolen and for the sake of his young wife and children he retired from the Southern frontier and came West.
"As an assayer, merchant and county commissioner he had an honorable part in the development of the Wood River district of Idaho. His reminiscences of life in the mines, of the mingling of the adventurous of all ranks, were most delightful and unvalled (sic) Bret Harte in character and color.
"Coming to Bellingham bay in 1889 with his friends, Major and Mrs. Darling, Governor and Mrs. George A. Black and others, Mr. Gillette and his family immediately became factors in the business and social life of the young city. His home and business interests have been here ever since excepting as Mrs. Gillette's failing health in recent years required her to spend her winters in Pasadena.
"Mr. Gillette's company put in the water and electric light system for Fairhaven and he was active manager of the water system in which he took keen interest and pride until the end. As county commissioner, he gave this county loyal and valuable services during the panic times of '93. He had the vision to see the future of this county and may truly be called the father of our county road system, which R. L. Kline and others carried on and which J. B. McMillan and associates have brought near completion. Good roads, good water, good citizenship were articles of faith with him.
"Though over eighty years old his form was erect, his eye clear and his faculties unimpaired. His wife's death last October ended many years of tireless devotion. It was a hard blow. He tried bravely to keep the old smile and undying optimism but the wound was there. Yesterday at 5 o'clock the end came quickly and painlessly. A well-spent life was ended. The brother and two sons with their families have the sympathy of the entire community."
