Mr. Gill was a man of remarkable vigor of mind and body, and literally died with the harness on. When not prevented by ill health he was always to be found at his office.

He enjoyed an extensive practice, being regarded as one of the safest cousellors at the bar. In his long life he enjoyed the confidence of his fellow citizens in many places of trust and honor. He was a Democrat of the strictest school, but he never aspired to political position, though during the term of Judge Brown as Mayor Mr. Gill was City Counsellor. He was also a member of the Constitutional Convention in 1867. He had also been a director in the Northern Central and also the Western Maryland Railroad.

Mr. Gill was twice married, his first wife being Miss Ann W. McElderry, and the second, who survives him, Miss Ann McKinn Bowly. Mr. Gill leaves one son, Mr. John Gill, a member of the bar, and six daughters.. Mrs. Anne Brown, who died in October last, and was the wife of Gen. Stewart Brown, was a daughter of Mr. Gill by his first wife.

Mr. Gill left a large estate which he managed himself.
