General Notes: Husband - Charles Gibson, Sr.

---

He was educated at the schools of his time, and subsequently for several years engaged in farming and distilling on the homestead. At an early age he learned the carpenter's trade, at which he worked for many years. He was one of the first stockholders in the Butler and Allegheny plank-road, of which he became manager, and was also president of the Allegheny and Perrysville plank-road. He was one of the earliest stockholders of the P. & W. R. R., and acted as president of that road for several years; was also engaged in saw- and grist-milling in Richland township for a number of years.
He held the offices of supervisor and school director of the township. He moved onto his farm in 1841, and Gibsonia station and postoffice were named in his honor. In 1861 he engaged in mercantile business at Bakerstown, and continued four years. He was a member of the Cross Roads Presbyterian Church.

His education was obtained in the subscription schools, and early in life he learned the trade of carpenter, his calling until he took up milling and farming. He was at one time the owner of sixteen hundred acres of land, and he made hay and grain his principal crops. At this place he also operated a flouring mill for many years, and was well-known and regarded throughout the neighborhood. When the tracks of the Pittsburgh & Western Railroad were laid he financed the operation to a great extent, and for a time headed the organization of this road as president. He was a man of local prominence, serving as postmaster for about nine years, and filling a position on the school board. [GPHWP, 826]
