On February 24, 1936, Gilmer was united in marriage to Frances Skime in the Wannaska, MN parsonage.

In 1951 they returned to farm in Veldt Township, Marshall County, MN also working in construction, driving truck and working in the woods until 1968 when they moved into Thief River Falls where Gilmer worked at Arctic Cat holding various jobs before retiring as production superintendent.
