ALVIN GIBBS TAKES OWN LIFE TUESDAY

Lorimor--Alvin Gibbs, well known farmer living south of the Kasson community, near here, took his own life at his farm home Tuesday morning, June 19. He shot himself shortly after leaving the house.

Mr. Gibbs was 50 years of age. He had been in failing health recently, and this is thought to have caused his action.

He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Ada Gibbs; a daughter, Mrs. Lloyd Eilts of Albia; and two grandchildren.
