Edward A. Gilbert

Edward Addison Gilbert (July 6, 1854 – ?) (often referred to as "E.A. Gilbert") was a Nebraska politician who served as lieutenant governor from 1899 until 1901 under Governor William A. Poynter. He also served as a Republican in the Nebraska legislature in 1889.[1] In 1900, he was nominated for a second term as lieutenant governor as a Silver Republican aligned with the Populists,[2] and directly as a Populist in 1902[3] but did not prevail.

Gilbert was born in Illinois and moved from Macoupin County, Illinois to York County, Nebraska in 1884.[4] He married Louise May on January 1, 1878 in Carlinville, Illinois.[5]
