At the time of the operation, attending physicians held no hope for his recovery, and while he fought hard, death was triumphant. Altho probably afflicted for years, his ill health only became apparent recently. James Melvin Gibbons was born at the Gibbons homestead near Richland Center on May 7th, 1873, a son of James B. and Julia A. GIBBONS, deceased. He was educated in the schools of the county, taking normal work and later teaching in local schools. He was united in marriage to Adella A. HORNER, of Howe, Ind., on September 18, 1907. To this union were born two children, Margaret Elizabeth [GIBBONS], nine, and James Joseph [GIBBONS], three, who with the widow, two brothers, Chas. M. GIBBONS, (a twin), of Terre Haute and W. S. GIBBONS, of Rochester, and two sisters, Carrie M. OVERMYER, of this city and Cora E. OSBORNE, of Argos, survive. Of late years, he was employed by Swift & Co., of Chicago and Kingan and Co., of Indianapolis, as salesman and for the past three years was the branch manager at South Bend for the Holland Furnace Co. He always enjoyed the complete confidence of his employers and those with whom he was associated. He was a member of the Rochester Masonic and Knights of Pythias lodges. A distinct and predominating feature of his life was the ease with which he made friends and the acceptability of these friends. His home life was replete and he took great interest in the present and future welfare of his family. Funeral at the Methodist church at 2:00 p.m. Monday conducted by Masons of Rochester lodge No. 79, with sermon by Rev. George F. CRAIG. Burial at I.O.O.F. cemetery.
