I remember some years back trying to track down Gilman, seems like he did work for the Railroad, and moved to BV due to his wife's health. From memory this was before 1885 when the Pacific Hotel Co took over.

My recollection was that there were 3 of them initially, some sort of partnership. I wondered if there was more than one Gilman, did not seem so but...

Could not work out how he was both a Railroad Employee, a conductor I think, and a Hotelier, did his wife actually run it?
