The Lake Odessa Wave, July 30, 1908
Again a friend and neighbor, well known in our vicinity and highly respected, 
has passed to the better world.  Byron Gibbs was stricken with paralysis last 
Thursday while sitting in the yard with his wife at their pleasant home.  
Surrounded by his family and friends he lingered till about noon, July 25th, 
when the end came.

Mr. Gibbs was born in Pittsburg, Pa., November 12, 1850, coming to Sebewa with 
the family when but a child, where he has since lived.  For years Mr. Gibbs 
has been an earnest and faithful worker in all that went to make the world 
about him better.  As one of the most faithful members of the Wesleyan 
Methodist church, he will be missed, being class leader and member of the 
church board.

Mr. Gibbs has been in poor health for several months and when told that he 
could not live but a few months, he calmly trusted his God and expressed 
himself many times as ready and willing to leave all with Him who “doeth all 
things well.”

Besides his many friends he leaves  a faithful wife, a son, Bruce, a daughter, 
Mrs. Geo. Thorpe, Jr., a sister, Mrs. C. Sanborn, two brothers, Geo. Gibbs of 
Carson City and Norman Gibbs of this place. 

Funeral will be held at the W. M. Church, July 28th, conducted by A. A. 
Alverson and Rev. Watrous.
