TIBBETT, Dr. J.C.—Jackson Twp—pg 667. This gentleman is a native of Fayette county, Ohio, born November 4, 1846. Was raised on a farm until seventeen years of age and received a good school education. When about seventeen years of age he left the farm and engaged in teaching school about three years. During this time he gave his spare time to the reading of medicine. He read with Dr. Wilson, of Greenfield, Highland county, Ohio. He afterward attended the Miami Medical College, of Cincinnati, and graduated from that institute in the spring of 1873. The same spring he came to Montezuma and commenced the practice of his profession. He has the most thorough qualifications as a physician and by his own skill and energy and is a welcome visitor in the sick-room. The Doctor was married in Montezuma, to Miss Abby, daughter of F.A. Kilburn, Esq., March 22, 1874, and by this union they have one daughter, Nellie.
