Death of Mrs. Gibson

Death has visited our community and claimed one our very oldest residents in the person of Mrs. Reid Gibson, who died a short time ago at the age of 82. She leaves to survive her a husband and four children, Mrs. Freeman of Hamilton, Ohio; James A. Gibson of Findlay, Ohio; Mrs. Neil of Niagara Fall, Ont., and Asa Gibson of Walsh.

Mr. Gibson, who is left to mourn the loss of his loved one, has been married for sixty years. He will be 99 years old on the 15th of July, and if spared another year will reach the century mark. For a man of his age he is very smart and active. He can see and hear quite clearly and distinctly and seems more like a man of sixty than almost a hundred.
