General Notes: Husband - Burbage Martin Kribbs


He was edu­cated in the public schools, and continued as his father's assistant at the home farm until 1880, when the latter turned the entire management over to him and moved to a small farm in Salem township. Burbage M. Kribbs con­tinued in management of the Ashland town­ship farm until 1892, when he became the owner by purchase from his father. He made many improvements, and had one hun­dred and fifty acres of well tilled profitable land under cultivation. Oil was discovered on the farm and for several years the wells were operated, but eventually ceased to produce. He carried on general farming operations, also raising and dealing in live stock. He was a Democrat in politics, served in many township offices and was one of the substantial men of his town. He and his wife were members of the Reformed church, and he was a member of the Knights of the Maccabees. [GPHAV, 556]
