While in falling health for some time, Mrs. Gibson was active and in full possession of her mind to the time of her death. Death was due to apoplexy and came after only a few moments warning. This worthy lady’s parents were Joseph Seybert and Mrs. Rebecca Seybert, of Pocahontas county, W.Va. She had two brothers Lanty & Jacob Seybert. Lanty died a prisoner of war at Elmira N. Y., Jacob married Miss Mary Jones, of Greenbriar County and became a prosperous citizen of Rockbridge county, and was father of Mr. Trent Seybert and Mrs. Maine Newland, of that county. Mrs. Gibson had but one sister, the late Mrs. Maria Herold, near Frost, W. Va. Mrs. Gibson spent much of her girlhood days at the home of her grandfather, Mr. Lanty Lockridge, at Driscol, four miles west of Huntersville, a home noted for its hospitality & a place of resort for visiting lawyers to & from Huntersville on public occasions. Pleasant mention is made of the hospitality and bountiful table of this home in the memoir of Howe Peyton & the reminiscences of George Mayes, of Warm Springs, the fact being noted that Mr. Lockridge bore a striking resemblance to Henry Clay. Mrs. Gibson received her education at the Richardson School for girls, then conducted at Warm Springs. She was born near Seybert, Pocahontas county, Nov. 15, 1837, and at the time of her death was 84 years, 3 months and 24 days old. She was married to the late William. D. Gibson, in 1859 and the family home up to the time of her husband’s death was between Monterey and Vanderpool. The closing years of her life were spent in Monterey, where she has made a wide circle of friends. Kemper Gibson, her youngest son, pleasantly remembered by our people, died several years ago, Joseph S. Gibson, of Monterey, and W.A. Gibson of Charlottesville, are the two living sons. The daughters are Miss Kate and Miss Clara Gibson, at home, Mrs. John M. Colaw, of Monterey, and Mrs D.M. Kyle of Staunton. Mrs. Gibson had been a member of the Presbyterian church for many years. She was a woman of strong character and unusual mental endowments. Her mind was richly stored with reminiscences of the past and she kept herself well informed in all current matters up to the last. The funeral took place at the Presbyterian church Saturday morning at 11 o’clock, was conducted by her pastor. Rev. G.L. Kerns, and was largely attended. All of her children were present except Mrs. J. M. Colaw who was prevented by illness.
