Death of T.N. Gibson

Tuesday morning at two o’clock Mr. T.N. Gibson, one of the oldest and most 
respected citizens of Talbotton, died at his home on College Street.  His death 
was due to a general breakdown in health.

Mr. Gibson was 82 years of age last March.  He was born in Pike County, but 
moved to Talbot when 16 years of age, and has been living in the county ever 
since.  For many years he has engaged in the mercantile business in Talbotton, 
and was identified with prominent business ventures in the town and county.  He 
retired from active business about 15 years ago when he sold his stock of 
merchandise to the Farmer’s Alliance.  Since that time he has been engaged in 
no active work but looked after his large farming interests in this and other 
counties.

Mr. Gibson was a man who had a great many friends.  He was openhearted and 
generous, and many a man in need has received help at his door.  He will be 
greatly missed in the community.

Mr. Gibson is survived by his wife and several children, namely: Messrs. Bob, 
Albert and Ben Gibson, of Talbotton, Mrs. Geo. Lowe of Box Springs, Mrs. Geo. 
Brightwell, of Pelham, Mrs. (no name given) of Macon, and Misses Jennie and 
Susie Gibson of Talbotton.  His entire family have the sympathy of the people 
of the town and county in their sorrow.

The funeral services were conducted from the home on Tuesday afternoon and the 
remains of this honored citizen were tenderly laid to rest at Oak Hill 
cemetery, Rev. Francis McCullough conducting the ceremonies.
