                                 JUDGE WILLIAM GIBSON
    Judge William Gibson died Wednesday at Messena, Warren County. He has been
in feeble health for the last few years, and for several weeks his condition has
been precarious, and the end expected at any moment. At one time there was no
more prominent figure in Georgia than Judge Gibson, who was conspicuous in state
politics and held offices of honor and trust. He was a native of Warren county,
where he was born seventy three years ago. He moved to Augusta in 1856 and
entered the practice of law, in which profession he built up quite a reputation,
and became renowned as a jurist of unusual ability.He was recorder of Augusta
for several years, represented Richmond county in the state legislature for
several years, and at one time held the honored position of president of the
Senate. No braver or truer soldier entered the confederate ranks than Judge
Gibson. For his fortitude and courage displayed on the battlefield he was made
colonel of the Forty-eighth Georgia Regiment. He was at one time judge of the
Middle Circuit and afterward judge of the Augusta Circuit of the Superior Court.
After he retired from the bench the judge entered a co-partnership with Adolph
Brandt in the practice of law in Augusta, which continued until Mr. Brandt's
removal to Atlanta.
