Gilbert W. Dilley (1902-1996) was a life-long student of Ohio history, an avid collector of Ohio Indian artifacts, a long standing trustee, past president, and generous benefactor of the Ohio Historical Society, and a true steward of Ohio's significant historic sites, especially Flint Ridge. Gilbert and his wife, Marguerite, encouraged and supported appreciation of Ohio's ancient peoples and the historical sites that afford a glimpse of Ohio's distant past. His friendship is sorely missed, but his many contributions and spirit endure.
