This community was saddened Monday morning when news flashed here of the death of William T. Gibson at Fowler, California. Mr. Gibson was a former Andrew resident. He was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Gibson, born February 7, 1873. He received his education in the local schools and operated a farm north of Andrew for a number of years, later going to California where he purchased a raisin ranch. On January 12, 1910, he was united in marriage with Miss Myra Rigby of Andrew. They made their home in Fowler, California. He held places of trust and honor and was an officer of the Fowler United Presbyterian Church. Besides his widow he is survived by one sister, Mrs. H. E. Strain of Andrew, two brothers, Frank W. Gibson, Maquoketa, and Rev. Ross C. Gibson, D. D. of Chicago. There are no details as to the funeral.
