This grave marker is inscribed  “ADALINE” and marks the resting place of 
Adaline C. (Black) Hewes Gibbs (November 12, 1832 – October 4, 1892), daughter 
of Sylvester and Mehitable Black.  Adaline was the second wife of Sabin Gibbs 
(October 3, 1823 – March 25, 1905), the son of Joel and Elizabeth (Root) 
Gibbs.  Sabin and Adaline had no children.  
	
Adaline’s first husband was Nelson Hewes (July 1, 1829 – March 1, 1864), son 
of Samuel H. and Priscilla (Wood) Hewes.  They had one daughter, Flora A. 
Hewes.  Nelson, who served in the 23rd Michigan Volunteer Infantry, Company D, 
died of disease contracted during his military service and is buried in the 
Tuscola Township Cemetery.

Sabin’s first wife was Harriet (Watts) Gibbs, daughter of William and Rachel 
(Horner) Watts.  Sabin and Harriet had three children:  Helen E. Gibbs, who 
married Jeremiah Hooper; William A. “Ami” Gibbs, who married Emma C. 
Swinehart; and Cora B. Gibbs, who never married.  

Buried on this lot are Sabin Gibbs, Sabin’s first wife Harriet (Watts) Gibbs,  
Sabin’s second wife Adaline C. (Black) Hewes Gibbs, and Sabin and Harriet’s 
daughter Cora Belle Gibbs.  In addition to the four grave markers, there are 
inscriptions for Sabin, Harriet, and Adaline on the family monument on this 
lot.
