He was the son of David C. & Mehitable (Russell) Woodbury and the husband of Catherine A. Jackman. They married on January 7, 1871 in Woodstock, New Hampshire
Gilman grew up in Woodstock and probably helped his father with farm chores as was typical for boys who grew up in farming families, and he also probably learned the carpentry trade from his father who was a carpenter by trade. Gilman was still living at home with his parents by the time of the 1870 United States Federal Census which showed him to be 22 years of age and working as a farmer.
On January 7, 1871, Gilman Russell Woodbury and Catherine K. Jackman were married at Woodstock, Grafton, NH. [New Hampshire, Marriage Records Index, 1637-1947, FHL Film 1001320; Jackman Family Bible currently in the possession of Helen Woodbury Marsh of Meriden, NH.]
Gilman and Catherine had the following children:
1. Edith Emma Woodbury was born July 13, 1872 in Easton, Grafton, NH; married Stephen S. Smith of Easton on November 3, 1888; two daughters, Gladys and Beulah Smith. Edith died October 7, 1896, at the age of 26, from pulmonary tuberculosis. She is buried in the Woodstock Town Cemetery. [Jackman Family Bible; New Hampshire Death Records, 1654-1947, FHL Film 1001107]
2. Ethel Marjorie Woodbury was born February 12, 1875 in Woodstock, Grafton, NH; married Frank A. Fox on June 15, 1898 at Woodstock. Ethel died at Woodstock, on April 28, 1901, within three hours following a miscarriage. Contributing cause was pernicious anemia which she had had for two years. [Jackman Family Bible; New Hampshire, Death Records, 1654-1947, FHL Film 2079511]
3. Frank Henry Woodbury was born December 10, 1877, at Woodstock, Grafton, NH; married Mary Eta Titus; he died January 27, 1934 in Woodsville, Grafton, NH.
A letter from Elmer Woodbury, brother to Gilman Russell Woodbury, dated November 19, 1936, indicates that at one time Gilman and Catherine lived in the hamlet of Wildwood, located near Kinsman Notch on Highway 112, about 9 miles west of north of Woodstock. At the time of the 1880 United States Census, Gilman was living in the household of his sister Emma and her husband in Concord, Merrimack, NH. He was 33 years of age and working as a house carpenter, but by 1885, Gilman was back in Woodstock working as a Section Boss on the Pemigewasset Valley Railroad which in 1883 was permanently leased to the BC&M Railroad. During this period, railroad tracks were being laid into the White Mountains. Since Gilman was a carpenter, he probably helped build railroad stations and other utility buildings, bridges and trestles along the line. The 1910 census shows that he was still working as a carpenter in the railroad industry. In 1910, Gilman lived on Road 6 in Woodstock and was also working as a farmer with 75 acres of land.
On February 26, 1898, Gilman’s wife Catherine died in Woodstock from heart failure. [New Hampshire, Death Records 1654-1947, FHL Film 100116; Jackman Family Bible] Gilman remained a widower for just under a year and, on January 3, 1899, he married in Woodstock to Evelyn A. Wells, age 42, daughter of Noah L. Wells and Hannah P. Wells.
At the time of the 1900 United States Census, Gilman and Evelyn lived in Bethlehem, Grafton, NH, and living with them was Evelyn’s mother Hannah P. Wells, age 65, and two lodgers. Gilman was renting a house and working as a carpenter. In 1867, the railroad had come to Bethlehem and resulted in a building boom that started in 1873 as people sought to escape the heat and fowl air of the cities. Eventually, there were 30 large hotels in Bethlehem that housed the rich and famous.
In 1914, Gilman and Evelyn were living in Whitefield, owned their home on High Street and he was employed by the Boston & Maine Railroad.
Gilman Russell Woodbury died in Whitefield, Grafton, NH, on February 10, 1919, at the age of 71 years 8 months. He is buried with his first wife Catherine A. K. Jackman at the Town Cemetery in Woodstock.
