Edward Addison Gilbert (July 6, 1854 – March 13, 1935) (often referred to as "E.A. Gilbert") was a Nebraska politician who served as the ninth lieutenant governor of Nebraska 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] He died in Long Beach, California, on March 13, 1935, at the age of 80.[6]
