Gibson, well-known Lassen county pioneer, died Saturday in Litchfield. Funeral services will be held at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Methodist church, with the Rev. E.E. Wilson officiating. Interment will be in the family plot, Lassen cemetery. Mrs. Gibson, the son of William and Jane Gibson, was born on Oct. 3, 1865, in Coshocton, Ohio. He moved west when he was a young man, spending several years in the Reno area. He was associated in ranching in Washoe county, Nev. In 1884 Mr. Gibson married Clare Litch, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Litch of Reno; and shortly thereafter the couple moved to Honey Lake valley to manage the Litch ranch in Lassen county. A few years later they purchased the historic Litch ranch, which subsequently became known as the Gibson ranch. They have resided there continuously ever since. In the early days when transportation was difficult, the ranch was used by stage drivers for changing horses on their long drives from Amedee to Susanville. It also was known as a trading post and central point for cattle men and teamsters trading between Reno, Alturas and Lakeview, Ore., and was the only point of the telephonic and telegraphic communication in this section. During those years Mr. Gibson was prominently identified in the early development of Honey Lake valley, giving his time and efforts to the upbuilding of the Honey Lake district and Lassen county. He has served continuously on federal, state and county committees to further the development of livestock and ranching interests in this area. Mr. Gibson was a member of the I.O.O.F. and Rebekah lodges, the Lassen County Farm Bureau and the Federal Crop Production Bank. He is survived by his widow; six children, Mrs. Clent Haley of Litchfield, Mrs. Orrin Davis and Mrs. E.P. Caffrey of Reno, Mrs. Russell High of Madera, Jay Gibson of Sonora and Jessie Gibson, a member of the King City junior college faculty; four grandchildren, Franklin Lee Gibson, Mrs. Warren Green and Mrs. Gloria Carter, all of Litchfield, and Dr. Jay Gibson of Stockton; and five great-grandchildren. Funeral arrangements are under the direction of White Mortuary.
