Obituary written by J. Campbell
Rev. J. A. McGilvra was born in Schohario County, New York, December
13, 1819; was married to Mary Gray, April 14, 1842. She lived but four
years, leaving one daughter who is still living, after which he was
married to Francis Ann Rose, in Dundee, Kane County, Illinois, on May
6, 1847, who was with him as a sharer of his joys and sorrows, and who
stood by him in prosperity and adversity as a fit helpmeet for 42
years of hard itinerant work, when the Lord called her to her reward,
preceding him about four months. She left eight children - six girls
and two boys - all saved through the blood of the Lamb.
Brother McGilvra died January 20, 1890 at his son-in-law
