Ervin Gibbs, 47
Dies Suddenly                               (From the collection of Vivian 
Norby Andersen)

	The community was shocked last Thursday upon learning of the untimely 
death by apparent heart attack of Ervin W. Gibbs, 47 who farmed a few miles 
east of Soldier.
	Ervin had gone to the pasture that morning to look after his cattle 
and became ill with chest pains.  A doctor was called and he taken immediately 
to the Onawa hospital.  Arriving there he was placed in a wheel chair and his 
wife was taking him to his room when he died suddenly.  A few days prior to 
his attack he had been stung by a bee and required medical attention, but it 
is not believed this contributed to his death.
	Funeral services were held Monday at 11 a.m. at St. Paul’s Lutheran 
Church in Ute.  Pastor E. T. Lang officiated.  Interment was in St. Clair 
cemetery at Ute under the direction of Walter Funeral Home.  Bearers were 
Martin Kiepe, Ervin Kiepe, Joseph Carritt, Milford Nordaker, Louis Sanders and 
Edward Schelm.  Graveside military rites were conducted by American Legion 
Aaby Post 442 of Ute.
	Ervin Wayne Gibbs, the son of Solon and Anna Gibbs, was born December 
11, 1919 near Soldier.  He lived in the Soldier and Ute communities his entire 
life and at the time of his death farmed four miles east of Soldier.  He 
graduated from Ute high school in 1938 and later attended Junior College at 
Sheldon.  He was a member of the American Legion Post 442 at Ute and was a 
past commander of the post.  He had been a member of the Ute school board and 
was a member of the Triple A board for several years.  He took an active part 
in all civic activities.  
	He married Grace Hughes August 5, 1944 at Muskogee, Okla.  One son and 
two daughters were born to this union.
	Survivors include the widow; two daughters, Barbara and Georgia of 
Ute; a son, Wayne, currently stationed in Vietnam as a member of the U. S. 
Marines (Wayne arrived by plane the last of the week to attend his father’s 
funeral); mother, Anna of Onawa; a sister, Mrs. Marty Schlensig of Dunlap; and 
three brothers, Herbert and Ivan of Ute and Basil of Soldier.
