The Denison Sunday Gazetteer April 9, 1911 HENRY GILLIAN DEAD Henry Gillian, one of the very first colored persons to cast his lot here in 1873, died with dropsy Monday night. Henry was connected with the wholesale liquor house of E. Eppstein & Son for 35 years and went with them to Ft. Worth. He returned here over a year ago in poor health and has been going down hill ever since. The deceased was married and leaves a wife and family. Henry was one of the most honorable and highly esteemed colored men who has ever lived here. He was respected by both colors. He was one of the organizers of the colored State Odd Fellows and was at one time a member of the Grand Lodge. The deceased was probably the first colored man in Denison to subscribe for the Sunday Gazetteer, and at the time of death was on our list.  OAKWOOD CEMETERY
