Gibb, William - Suicide at Northboro. The whole community in and about Northboro were greatly shocked when the news went forth that Wm. Gibb had committed suicide. No one, not even the family, have any idea why he should commit so rash a deed, for to appearances his home life was pleasant and he was very comfortably fixed financially. We learned this morning that he and his wife had gone to town yesterday, she to spend the day with her sister, and he in the afternoon, going in separate rigs, as they did not want to stay the same length of time. He purchased a small bottle of carbolic acid, and going home took it and then went to his bedroom, and when his wife returned home in the afternoon she found him lying on the bed, dead. The shock was very great and she has been prostrated ever since. Her youngest son, Thomas, came in soon afterwards, and in a few minutes the near neighbors were notified.
Mr. Gibbs was about 60 years old, and was the father of four children. The two daughters are married; one lives in Tarkio and the other in Blanchard. They have two boys, one of them at home, and the youngest at Tarkio staying with his sister and going to school. Mr. Gibb was a farmer, and lived one mile northeast of town.— Shenandoah World.

James Patterson Gibson.
James Patterson Gibson was born August 10, 1849, at Glenhope Mills, six miles from Oxford, Chester Co., Pa. He was of Scotch-Irish ancestry and at least two of his forebears served in the Revolutionary War. His father died when Patterson was twelve years of age and shortly afterward his mother with her family of four boys and one girl removed to New Wilmington, Pa., where the boys attended college and where the deceased was graduated in 1871. That year he entered Allegaheny Theological Seminary, where he graduated in 1874, after having been in Xenia Theological Seminary during the winter of 1872-73. Mr. Gibson was licensed to preach in 1873 by Monongahela Presbytery and preached during that summer vacation at the congregation of Troy and Southfield, Oakland County, Mich. Upon his graduation he was called to the pastorate of these congregations and thither he went immediately after his marriage to Miss Annetta Flemming on April 8, 1874. After serving these charges for ten years, Mr. Gibson, at the request of the Presbytery, removed to Bad Axe, Huron Co., Mich, to do much needed home missionary work in that vicinity, which a short tme before had been devasted by forest fires. Following this work he held successive pastorates at De Witt, Iowa, Chetopa, Kas., Tingley, Iowa, and Alexis, Ill., and in 1897 was appointed Financial Agent of Tarkio College at Tarkio, Mo., in which work he was engaged for five years.
Mrs. Gibson died at Tarkio in 1902 and shortly afterward Rev. Gibson was called to serve the newly organized congregation at Ft. Morgan, Colo., where during four years of most efficient work the membership grew from thirty to more than two hundred.
After leaving the work in this congregation he was assigned to home missionary work at Valley, Colo., where he built up a thriving congregation which he was obliged to give up on account of failing health. Some years were then devoted to his farm near Ft. Morgan, but at this he was not content and disregarding his physical weakness he responded to the call of his heart and in January, 1914 took up the pastorage work at Henburn, his most decided success. The small congregation took new heart under his ministry, the membership has almost doubled, and in recent months they have built a fine new church which was dedicated practically free of debt May 7, 1916. This may well be considered the crowning effort of Rev. Gibson's life, and we know that he was thoroughly ready for the sudden call of death, which came to him May 26, 1916, at Clarinda hospital, where he had gone for a few days' rest.   The deceased is survived by Margaret McCool Gibson, wife; Rev. J. H. Gibson, pastor at Plainfield, Ill., a brother; Mrs. Rev. J. H. Brown, Monmouth, Ill., a sister; W. J. Gibson, Esq., of New York City, N. Y., a brother; and his five children, namely: Mrs. C. F. H. Mills of Lincoln, Neb., Mrs. A. L. Martin, Mrs. R. M. Work and Miss Emma Gibson all of Ft. Morgan, Colo., and James Gibson, Jr., of Los Angeles, Calif, and besides these a faithful and devoted congregation at Hepburn and hosts of friends throughout the community and the church at large.

DEATH CLAIMS REV. J.P. GIBSON

Came From His Home at Hepburn to Spend the Day at the Killingsworth House.
STRICKENED WITH HEART DISEASE SATURDAY MORNING.
Had Intended to Return Home That Night—On Account of His Condition the Doctor Insisted He Remain the Night.
The Reverend J. R. Gibson, pastor of the United Presbyterian church at Hepburn, honored and respected by a host of friends and acquaintances passed from this earthly home to the final reward of all God-loving, God­fearing men, on Saturday morning, at 7:30 o'clock.
Death came very suddenly to Rev. Gibson. He, with his wi£e, had motored down Friday morning to spend the day at the home of Dr. Killingsworth. The two men had had a very good visit during the day, but Rev. Gibson complained to the doctor that he was not feeling the very best and mentioned that during the trip in the car he felt several times like he could not stand the speed the car was traveling, but did not want to complain for fear that his wife would think his condition was more serious than it was and he did not want to frighten her. As the afternoon drew on the Reverend told the Doctor that he guessed he would go back that night, but Dr. Killingsworth told him he had better remain, and just as a matter of form he reached and felt the pulse t»f Rev. Gibson and was surprised to find that it was very low, and then he Insisted that the
Reverend spend the night with them as he was in no condition to make the trip; this he finally agreed to do. The Doctor and himself sat on the veranda in the evening, and had a very sociable time, and the Reverend retired feeling very much better. In the morning he was not feeling well and his wife arose and told him to remain in bed and she would have the doctor come up and see him, but before the doctor could arrive he had given a gasp and when the doctor arrived he found that life was extinct.
The remains were removed to the Harmon Funeral Home, and services will be held in the United Presbyterian church at Hepburn, where he has been pastor for the past two years. Rev. W. C. Williamson, officiating, he having made the trip from Cleveland, Ohio, where he was attending the general conference of the United Presbyterian church. Interment will be made in the family lot at Tarkio, Mo.

Rev. James Patterson Gibson, pastor of the United Presbyterian church at Hepburn, died suddenly in Clarinda last Friday morning, May 25, 1916, of heart trouble. He and Mrs. Gibson had come from Hepburn the previous evening in an automobile, and expected to return to that place the same night. Having some time to spend here they went to the Kennelworth hospital, to visit Dr. and Mrs. D. H. Killingsworth, old friends. Mr. Gibson had been subject to attacks of the heart for many years, and while in the vicinity of the hospital, and at that institution, Thursday eveing, suffered renewed attacks of that organ.   Dr. Killingsworth assisted Mr. Gibson Thursday evening, and found his pulse giving only thirty-eight beats to the minute. The doctor told Mr. Gibson that it would not do for him to return to Hepburn that night, and prevailed upon Mr. and Mrs. Gibson to remain at the hospital   over   night.   The next morning Mr. Gibson got up about 7:30 o'clock, but because of the condition of his heart was unable to raise his hands to his head to comb his hair, so requested his wife to comb it for him.   About this time he started to fall and his wife caught him to hold him up.   His wife then called for help and   Dr.   Killingsworth   quickly responded, but it was found that Mr. Gibson had expired.     The remains were taken to Hepburn, Friday, and later    to Tarkio, Mo., Mr. Gibson's former home city, where the funeral was held Tuesday, conducted by Dr. J. A. Thompson, pastor of Tarkio college, and Dr. W. C. Williamson, pastor of the United Presbyterian church of Clarinda,    Mr. Gibson formerly was financial agent of Tarkio college for about ten years.   He lived in Colorado for awhile, but was obliged to leave there on account of his health. He was pastor of the United Presbyterian church at Hepburn for between two and three years before his death, and had arrangements made to conduct services there Sunday, May 28. A church notice bearing his name, in The Journal last   Thursday, closed with the sentence:   "We want to start work up in full swing next Sabbath." How little man can tell what is before him!   Mr. Gibson is survived by his wife, four daughters, and one son. The children  are  Mrs.  Bessie  Martin of Fort Morgan, Colo.; Mrs. Mabel Mills of Lincoln, Nebr.; Mrs. Roberta Work and Miss Emily Gibson of Fort Morgan, Colo., and James Gibson of Los Angeles, Calif.    Mr. Gibson was an able man and most highly respected by those who knew him.  Dr. Killingsworth, who   knew   him   for about twenty-five years regarded Mr. Gibson good a man as ever lived.

Universal sorrow was felt in Clarinda last week when it was learned that George A. Gillmor had passed away Friday evening. He had been critically ill since the previous Sunday, pneumonia being the immediate cause of his death. About Christmas time he suffered a severe attack of throat trouble from which he recuperated sufficiently to be about town, but was again taken ill, from which illness he did not have the strength to recover. The late Mr. Gillmor was the son of Rev. and Mrs. D. W. Gillmor. He was born in Creston, living there until a few years ago. He was married to Miss Helen Hurlbut, daughter of E. E. Hurlbut, formerly of this city, but now of St. Joseph, Mo. Much of the time since their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Gillmor have resided in Clarinda, where Mr. Gillmor was a pharmacist in the store of the Hawley Drug company and later in the Joe Anderson drug store. For some time he has been traveling salesman for the McCord-Norton Shoe company of St. Joseph, Mo., of which his brother-in-law, T. F. Norton, is one of the company.

J. W. V. Ginther died at the Lutheran hospital in St. Louis, Monday morning, May 21, 1900, where he had been some time suffering from a complication of diseases and old age, being nearly 79 years old at the time of his death. His daughter, Mrs. C. M. Stonebraker, was notified and his remains brought to this city Tuesday evening for interment by the side of his wife and two children. He was a native of Germany, and about 40 years ago emigrated to America, and soon after took up his residence in this city, which has since been his home virtually, although several years past he has been absent traveling for his health. For several years he followed the furniture business in this city. He was a member of the Presbyterian church, and also served his country during the civil war in Co. F. 23d Iowa infantry, The funeral took place yesterday at 2 o'clock at the Christian church, conducted by Rev. Clemmer, assisted by the G. A. R, Post.

John W. V. Ginther died in the Lutheran Hospital at St. Louis, yesterday morning, aged 78 years, 10 months and 17 days. A complication of bladder troubles, which he could not overcome on account of his age, was the cause of his death. He had been sick for a month, but was thought to be improving a few days ago. On Sunday, however, a message came to his only daughter, Mrs. M. C. Stonebraker, of this city, that he was dying, and yesterday morning came the word that he was dead. The body will be.brought here for burial, and funeral services will be held at the Presbyterian church, of which he was a member, at an hour to be announced later.
Mr. Ginther was born in Germany. He came to America about forty years ago and thirty-eight years ago became a resident of Clarinda, which he has since considered as his home. Here it was that he, with his wife, formerly Miss Susan Snazdale, whom he had married in 1856, reared his family of three children,—two sons and a daughter, only to lose the sons by death, and later in 1890, the wife also. None of his family is now living except his daughter, Victoria, now Mrs. Stonebraker. For several years Mr. Ginther has traveled and made his temporary home elsewhere. He was here last on June 4, 1899, and since then has been in St. Louis. Here it was that he became a member of the Presbyterian church. Here he joined the army, in Company F, 23d Iowa,.and served faithfully and well for three years. He was engaged in the furniture business here, and by industry accumulated a comfortable fortune. Here lie his children and his wife, and here it is that he himself desired to be buried.
Mr. Ginther was an enterprising and popular citizen. While he has not made his home in Clarinda for some time, his loss will be deeply felt by all his friends here, and his daughter, Mrs. Stonebraker, has the sympathy of the community in her bereavement. A brother of Mr. Ginther, Rev. John U. Ginther, who has been a Presbyterian pastor at Newark, N. J., for over forty years, has been notified, but will hardly be able to be present at the funeral. A sister is also living in Germany. Other than these Mr. Ginther had no immediate relatives.
The Grand Army Post of this city will attend the funeral services in a body. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, May 22, 1900

Dr. T. C. Smith, who is in St. Louis, was informed by telegram yesterday of the death of Mr. Ginther there, and was asked to take charge of his body and arrange for its shipment to this city. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, May 22, 1900

Victim of Claude Anderson—Family Quarrel Involved, Charge.
Just before noon, Tuesday, a tragedy took place in the eastern part of this city, when Art Gipson was shot and killed by Claude Anderson.
Gipson was a colored young man, the son of Dr. W. T. Gipson. Anderson is a young white man.
It appears that for a long time there had been trouble between the Anderson and Gipson families. The affair of Tuesday is said to have involved a quarrel of words between the two men, and following the hot words the shot, it is understood, was fired by Anderson at Gipson, from a 30-30 rifle.
After the shooting Anderson fled, but was pursued and arrested, and lodged in the Page county jail. An inquest was held last evening at Harmon's Funeral Home, conducted before Coroner Roy E. Harmon. The jury was composed of David Tharp, George G. Driftmier and Charles Dege. They returned a verdict to the effect that Gipson came to his death from gunshot wounds at the hands of Claude Anderson.
