General Notes: Husband - Horatio Gates Jameson Gibson

---

He became colonel of the Third United States Artillery. He was appointed cadet at West Point March 8, 1843, by John C. Spencer, Secretary of War, and from that institution his diploma was received in 1847.

His early school days were passed in his native city, in Philadelphia, and in York, Pennsylvania. He was appointed March 8, 1843, a cadet at West Point, from the York, congressional district, reported there June 13, 1843. graduated June 23, 1847, and made 2d lieutenant of Second artillery, Sept. 8, 1847.
He served in Mexico, made a voyage to the Hawaiian Islands, was on duty as aide-de-camp to General Riley in California, and was made first lieutenant of Third artillery, May 26, 1851. During the next ten years he was almost continually in service on the western frontier, and was severely wounded Nov. 1, 1855, in a battle with the Oregon Indians. Three years later he was regimental quartermaster, and made captain of Third artillery, May 14, 1861. He served during the War for the Union, and was in the Siege of Yorktown, the battles of Williamsburg, South Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg, and many others. He was brevetted major, May 6, 1862, for gallant and meritorious conduct at the Battle of Williamsburg, Virginia, and Sept. 17, 1862, he was made brevet lieutenant-colonel for gallant and meritorious service at the battle of Antietam, Maryland. He was made lieutenant-colonel Second Ohio Heavy Artillery Volunteers, Aug. 1, 1863; colonel of Third Ohio Heavy Artillery Volunteers, Aug. 15, 1863, and served with it until Aug. 12, 1865. He was made brevet colonel and brevet brigadier-general, U. S. volunteers, March 13, 1865, for valiant and meritorious conduct during the war, and was mustered out of the volunteer service Aug. 23, 1865. He became major of the Third artillery, Feb. 5, 1867; lieutenant-colonel of the Second artillery, April 19, 1882, and colonel of the Third artillery, Dec., 1883, in the U. S. A. He was on duty in command of Washington Barracks, D. C., from June 8, 1885, to his retirement from active service, May 22, 1891. Thereafter General Gibson resided in Washington, D. C., and was called upon to take in command American troops on various occasions, as at Gettysburg, July, 1888, and the Capital Centennial Celebration, Sept. 18, 1896.
General Gibson, a young cadet at West Point, was regarded as the handsomest
man in his class, and in later life he was described as follows:
"General Gibson is a fine, soldierly appearing officer, well proportioned and straight as an arrow. He has a bright eye, massive forehead, a straight nose, and a mouth indicative of firmness. He has a genial way about him that wins confidence after a short acquaintance. His record is filled with creditable achievements."
