Atlanta Constitution, 12 May 1887
The Death of a Pioneer.

From the Ellijay, Ga., Courier.
The death of Mr. Harry Gibson, in Pickens county, on Wednesday, the 28th ult., 
removes from this section another one of the original settlers from this 
region. He was quietly doing some light work in his yard when he suddenly 
dropped dead.  He came to this country when the Indians roamed this wild 
region, and came up with the development of the country.  He was a day laborer 
and helped to clear up most of the valley of Talking Rock from its original 
forest.  He was honest, hard-working, and as fas as we know died without an 
enemy.  He was a member of the Baptist church.  He was interred in the family 
cemetery on the plantation of Mr. W. R. Coleman, where thirty-seven of the 
Gibsons lie covered under the sod.  He had many grandchildren and great grand 
children, who have reached man and womanhood.  He was 76 years old.
