General Notes: Husband - Perry Adams Gibb


He was born on the John K. Wilson farm in Leetsdale, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. Here he passed his boyhood and obtained his education, first at the local public schools and later at the Sewickley Academy. At the age of eighteen years, having completed his studies, he became a river pilot, navigating between Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and Louisville, Kentucky, became a sub pilot of the steamer "Samson," continuing for four years. In the phrase of that region, he "followed the river" until the year 1911, when he retired to a more quiet mode of life, and became engaged in real estate and gardening at Edgeworth, Pennsylvania. Mr. Gibb was active in other directions than business, however, and played an active part in Republican politics in his community, although he never aspired to office. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which his wife also held membership.
