This photo is a close-up of the inscription on one side of the Marvin B. Gibbs 
family monument.

M.B. GIBBS
NEW YORK JUNE 17, 1839
CARO AUG. 18, 1893
___________

MARGURET J.
BORN FEB. 4, 1841
DIED MAY 16, 1912

Buried on this lot are Marvin B. Gibbs (June 17, 1839 – August 18, 1893), 
Margaret Jane (Delling) Gibbs (February 4, 1841 – May 14, 1912); and two of 
their four sons, Chester Frank (August 2, 1868 – April 17, 1873); and N. Lyle 
Gibbs (June 14, 1882 – March 29, 1883).  Each has a grave marker in addition 
to an inscription on the family monument.

Marvin was the son of Melvin Gibbs and his first wife Mary (Benson) Gibbs, and 
Margaret was the daughter of William and Mary (Waterous) Delling.  Marvin and 
Margaret had four children:  William Melvin “Mellie” Gibbs (April 16, 1859 – 
March 26, 1895), Daniel Ozelle “Zellie” Gibbs (1863 - ?), and Frank and Lyle 
who are mentioned above.

After Marvin’s death, Margaret remarried.  Her second husband was Alonzo “Lon” 
Richards (1847 - ?), son of Lewis and Julia (Behner) Richards.

Note:  “Marguret” as it is inscribed on the monument appears to be a 
misspelling of “Margaret”, as she was referred to in family records and on her 
death certificate.  There is also a discrepancy in her date of death which, on 
her death certificate, is shown as May 14, 1912 with a burial date of May 16, 
1912.
