The Portland Observer, Thursday, January 17, 1924

Funeral services for Alexander Gibbs, who died Sunday at the home of his 
daughter, Mrs. L. J. Riker, who resides on Maple street, were held from the 
Methodist church Tuesday afternoon at 2:00 o’clock, Rev. J. H. Bancroft 
officiating.  Burial was made in Portland cemetery.

Mr. Gibbs was born April 27, 1831, in New York state.  He came west to Ohio 
with his parents, when a small boy, and a few years later came to Portland to 
live with an uncle.  He spent a greater part of his life on the old Gibbs 
homestead, situation a half mile west and about a mile south of Collins.

Mr. Gibbs’ wife, whose maiden name was Rosina Klotz, died about four years 
ago, since that time he has been living with his children.  He moved in with 
his daughter, Mrs. Riker, who lives over the R. & M. garage last December.  
His health has been failing for some time, and his death was not unexpected.

The surviving children are Dan, Ray and Carl Gibbs, Mrs. L. J. Riker, all of 
this vicinity.  He was a cousin of William and John M. Gibbs.
