GIBBONS, 64, assistant sales-manager of the Holland Furnace Co., Holland, Mich., resident of this community for practically his entire life passed away at the St. John Hospital, Springfield, Illinois at 5 o'clock Friday evening. Death resulted from food poisoning from something Mr.Gibbons had eaten last Monday. On Thursday, Mrs.Gibbons who resides at 507 West 5th street, received a telegram apprising her of the serious illness of her husband. Mr. Gibbons left at once for the Illinois hospital and was with her husband when he died. Only meager details were available today regarding deceased's fatal illness and definite information cannot be obtained until Mrs. Gibbons' arrival in this city at 12:50 Sunday a.m. with the body. W. S. Gibbons was born in Richland Township on Feb. 24, 1865, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob GIBBONS. His education was received in the Richland Center and Rochester city schools and at Indiana University. Upon completion of his college course he was a high school instructor and in the year 1902 was appointed to the office of Superintendent of the Fulton county public schools in which capacity he served two terms. When Mr. Gibbons first came to this city he was employed as a clerk in the Adolph BICCARD store. After he had concluded his term as county superintendent Mr. Gibbons engaged in the insurance and real estate business at various times in this city. At one time he sold song books to schools in various parts of the Central West. Mr. Gibbons, according to leading instructors of the state, was the father of the centralized country school idea in Indiana which plan is now followed not only in this state but in many other states of the Union. While Mr. Gibbons was county superintendent the McKinley consolidated school was built four miles east of this city which was the first consolidated school built in the state. ----- Published in The Rochester News-Sentinel Monday, November 25, 1929 Funeral services for the late Sherman GIBBONS were held this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the Methodist church with the Rev. Chester W. WHARTON, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Valparaiso, in charge, assisted by Rev. Daniel PERRY and Rev. T. L. STOVALL. Burial was made in the Odd Fellows cemetery. The Masonic Lodge had charge of the services. Mr. Gibbons died Friday night in the St. John Hospital at Springfield, Ill. It was at first thought that ptomaine poisoning was the cause of his death which he had contracted from eating spoiled oysters. A post mortem examination of the body showed that death had been caused by a growth on the gall bladder. Mr. Gibbons was the assistant sales manager of the Holland Furnace Company in the Central West. Many representatives of the company were here today for the funeral.
