General Notes: Husband - William Gibson

---

He was born on the homestead farm in Parker township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, and there grew to manhood. He learned the carpenter's trade in early life, and followed it for some years. After marriage, they located on a farm later within the borough limits of Petrolia, which he operated and also worked at his trade. In September, 1864, he enlisted in Company L, Fourteenth Pennsylvania Cavalry, and served in the Army of the Potomac under Sheridan, taking part in the Shenandoah campaign. He was assigned to duty in the quartermaster's department and remained there until July, 1865, when he was honorably discharged.
He resided in Petrolia until 1888. In 1882 he was appointed postmaster of the borough, and served for four years, and was also burgess and justice of the peace for many years. In 1888 he took up his residence in Fairview borough, and in 1891 he was appointed oil inspector for Butler County. He and his wife were members of the United Presbyterian church, of Fairview. He was connected with J. G. Campbell Post, G. A. R., of Petrolia, of which he was treasurer for many years.
