No cemetery stone. From The Palmyra Items, February 5, 1897, page 1, transcribed by Linda Berney: Drowned half mile east of R. R. bridge, across the river from Nebr City, four boys and one girl, ages range from 9 to 13, on their way home from school, went skating and were drowned altogether in an ice hole about 10 feet square. From the News we learn two things. First, it was at noon hour and secondly that the names were, Nora McIlvain, aged 12; Clyde Gibson, aged 10; Orman Gibson, aged 13; Roy Gibson, aged 11; Willie Gibson, aged 9. Clyde was the son of Pennick Gibson; Orman, Roy and Willie sons of Whit Gibson. Wednesday seems to have been one of those singularly fatal days. Obituary information from Linda Berney 47343179 Tabor Newspaper Tabor Newspaper Gibson boys Roy, Orman and Willie sons of George Gibson. A very distressing and sad accident occurred Tuesday of this week near the schoolhouse at Eastport, just across the river from Nebraska City, resulting in the death of 5 children, aged 10 to 15 years. The children were attending the school taught by Mr. Ed Hackett, and at the noon hour had gone to a pond nearby to play. Their absence was not noticed by the teacher until the hour for school to resume work, and search was at once made for them. When found, they had a hold of each others hands, and it is presumed that they had been playing in this manner when the ice gave way. They had probably been in the water for 1/2 hour or more when discovered. Tabor Beacon - 5 Feb 1897
