      George Gibson, Retired Rural Mail Carrier, Passed Away Thursday.

      George D. Gibson, a resident of Wenona for approximately 40 years, died at his home in this city Thursday night after a period of declining health which covered several months. He was born at Danvers, Illinois, September 1, 1853 (other records say 1854 or 1855). He was 86 years, 6 months and 9 days old.

      In 1874 he married Jennie M. Smith of Streator. For a time they lived in Nebraska, and then returned to Illinois, locating here in 1899. Three sons born to this union are Harry Gibson, LaSalle; Albert Gibson, Hutchinson, Kansas; and the third son lives at Manchester, Washington. There are 18 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren.

      Mr. Gibson was a rural route mail carrier and remained in that service until pensioned some ten or fifteen years ago.

      Funeral services were held at the Thierry Funeral Home Sunday afternoon at 12:30 o'clock. Burial was made at Stanford, Illinois. Rev. Kauffroch of the Presbyterian church, officiated. Six grandsons served as casket bearers.
