(1) OBITUARY, Harlan County Journal, Alma, Nebraska, April 19, 1912: "ANOTHER PIONEER GONE TO REST--Died-- John A. Gibson of Alma, Nebraska, was born March 1, 1848, in Marion Co., Ill., and died April 16, 1912, at his residence in this city. At the age of 7 years he moved with his parents to Marion Co., Iowa, where he lived until about 1877, at which time he moved to Harlan ccounty, Nebraska. On the 9th day of September, 1871 [Note: Marion County, Iowa marriage records indicate 9 Nov 1871] he was united in marriage to Miss Margaret Wilson and to this union were born eight children, three sons and five daughters. Two sons, Chester and Edward, died in infancy. John Gibson, Jr. son, Mary Punshon, Clara Kirkpatrick, Allie Burkey, Nellie Moore and Bessie Gibson, daughters, and Margaret Gibson, widow, survive the deceased. At the age of 21 Mr. Gibson was converted to the Protestant Methodist church and later united with the United Evangelical church and remained a devoted member until death. Mr. Gibson was an old soldier as well as a pioneer and entered as a private in the Civil war in the 47th regiment Iowa, Volunteer Infantry and was honorably discharged from service Sept. 28, 1864, he was also a member of the Van Meter Post at Alma, he was a member of the Masonic and Woodman fraternities. The funeral services were held in the Evangelical church at 2:30 p.m. Rev. W. C. Brewer preached the funeral sermon, the subject was 'Heaven.' Rev. J. L. Beebe made a few remarks upon the life, character and work of the deceased. The Masonic Brethren from Orleans and Republican City were present and participated in the services. The deceased was laid to rest in the Alma cemetery and was buried with Masonic honors. Mr. Gibson was kind hearted, generous and cheerful and all those who knew him will miss his kind word and the sunshine of his life. He leaves a widow, six children, three sisters, two brothers, grandchildren and two little orphans, Bennie and Ida, which he had taken into the home to love and care for, and a host of friends to mourn his loss. The words of the prophet will be true in this case 'The memory of the just shall be blessed.'
