Effie M. Baker Gilbert v Nathan A. Gilbert (Journal 11 p130 - 7 Mar 1881; Roll 36 case number 852 - Jan 1881)
By Pamela Pattison Lash (updated 24 December 2021)
The couple was married on 2 Oct 1861 in Bloomfield Twp, Lagrange Co, IN. Nathan was the son of Elias and Roxey Hammond Gilbert; he was born c1840 IN; the family was listed in the 1860 Springfield, LaGrange Co, IN federal census p506 as Elias Gilbert 51 NY, Roxey 50 NY, Nathan A 20 IN, Charles H 15 IN, and Rachael 8 IN.
Effie, the daughter of James Baker and Ann McIntire, was born in 1841 IN. Nathan and Effie were enumerated in the 1870 Bryan, Pulaski Twp federal census p37, as Nathan 30 IN miller, Effie M 29 MI, Alton 8 IN, and Anna B 6 IN. He owned Lot 278 in Edgerton and Trevitt Addition in Bryan and Lot 50 in Pettisville. On 16 Apr 1876 he abandoned them. He lived in Ophis, Onway Co, Colorado. She was granted a divorce.
Effie next married Nathan Warner in LaGrange Co, IN on 7 April 1888. Her son Alton E Gilbert lived with his grandma Anna Kilbury (widow of James Baker and widow of Andrew Kilbury) in the 1880 LaGrange Co, IN Federal Census. Online information states that Effie died between 1895-1900 and was buried in Lakeview Cemetery, Buffalo, Wright Co, MN. She was the third and last wife of Nathan Warner.
Nathan A Gilbert, a miller, has not been found in Colorado, but again online information states he married again and died on 19 March 1906 in Russell, Lucas Co, IA. The problem with that is researchers have him marrying before Effie and having a life with the other woman while married to Effie.
