General Notes: Husband - George B. Gibson


He received a good education and was called into public life almost as soon as he reached manhood, becoming an active worker in the Democratic party. He served in various township offices, and in November, 1875, was elected county auditor, being re-elected to that office in 1878. In 1884 he was elected county commissioner, and for seven years he was chairman of the Democratic County Committee. On April 20, 1893, he was appointed postmaster at New Castle, receiving a hearty endorsement from nearly all the leading citizens, regardless of party, about nine-tenths of the entire business interests recommending his appointment. During his term of four years in this office he improved the service in many ways, and was one of the most popular postmasters that New Castle ever had. He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church at New Castle.
