IN MEMORY OF
MAURICE R. GIBBS
APRIL 10, 1919
SEPT. 18, 1944

Maurice R. Gibbs was the son of Ray Edgar Gibbs and his first wife Alma 
(Rutherford) Gibbs.  Maurice was one of nineteen men killed in a Army C-47 
transport plane crash near Mount McKinley, Alaska.  Although a thorough 
investigation of the area was conducted, none of the victims were found.  The 
peak where the disaster occurred was later named Mount Deception.  Fifty years 
later—in 1994--a monument was built on the highway from Palmer/Wasilla to 
Fairbanks to commemorate the nineteen men who were lost on that mountain in 
1944.
