ELLERY CRANING KIBBEE
Ellery Chaning Kibbee of the Federal Reserve Bank is one of the representative
citizens of Minneapolis. A native of Wisconsin, his birth occurred in
Janesville, in 1880. His parents were C. W. and Harriett (Stebbens) Kibbee, the
former a native of Vermont and the latter of Wisconsin. In the early '70s the
father removed from his native state to Wisconsin. There he was married and in
1882 he and his wii'e moved to St. Paul. In 1896 Mrs. Kibbee passed away and
shortly afterward Mr. Kibbee came to Minneapolis. He was general agent for a
fire insurance company here until his death in 1902. To Mr. and Mrs. Kibbee two
children were born: Frances, who is now Mrs. William A. French of Minneapolis;
and Ellery Chaning, whose name introduces this review.
The public schools of St. Paul afforded Ellery Chaning Kibbee his early
education and later he took preparatory work in Minneapolis, subsequently
entering Lawrenceville School, at Lawrenceville, New Jersey. After putting his
textbooks aside he worked at various positions in the local Chamber of Commerce
for four years and at the termination of that time became associated in
investment banking with Stevens, Chapman & Company for seven years. He then
formed a partnership as Wight Kibbee & Company, Investment Bankers, and was
active in that association until he was called to the Federal Reserve Bank by
former Governor Theodore Wold, in June, 1918, to handle the new issues of war
securities at Minneapolis. He was made director of the fiscal agency department,
handling sale and redemption of United States securities for the ninth district.
He has continued to discharge the duties of this important posi­tion with marked
ability and is prominently known in financial circles throughout the state. He
devotes his entire time and attention to his duties at the bank.
In Minneapolis, on the 29th of April, 1905, was celebrated the marriage of Mr.
Kibbee and Miss Helen Hoegh, a daughter of Dr. K. Hoegh. The Hoeghs are one of
the old and honored families of this city. Mr. and Mrs. Kibbee have one son:
Chandler H. Mrs. Kibbee is a woman of much culture and refinement and she takes
an active and prominent part in the club and social circles of this city.
In his political views Mr. Kibbee is a stanch republican and maintains an active
interest in party affairs, being well versed on all important questions and
issues of the day. His religious faith is evidenced by his membership in St.
Paul's Episcopal church. He is identified with the University Club of St. Paul.
He was a member of the Home Guard and was sergeant-major of the St. Paul
Battalion under the command of Major William D. Mitchell. During the World war
he gave generously of his time and money in the furtherance of the government's
interests, putting in the first thirty-three county organizations for the sale
of Liberty bonds in the ninth district, Federal Reserve, appointing chairmen and
committees under the direction of Mr. A. R. Rogers, director War Loan
Organization. Mr. Kibbee's hobby is gardening and he is also a dog fancier,
specializing in breeding wiry haired fox terriers. He was the first president of
the Twin City Kennel Club.
