      JAMES M. GIBSON,
  
  [p. 758] general farmer and dairyman, one of the largest milk producers
  for the New Castle market, resides on his finely improved farm of sixty
  acres, which is situated in Hickory Township, on the south side of the
  Harlansburg Road. He was born on the old homestead on the Butler Road,
  February 13, 1859, and is a son of George B. and Nancy (McCaslin)
  Gibson. His grandparents, George and Anna Gibson, came from County Down,
  Ireland, and settled on this farm in 1830.
  
  James M. Gibson went to school with the boys and girls of his early
  youth, in the same neighborhood, and many of these are rearing families
  and owning farms in the section where all have been acquainted from
  childhood. One of these he married, Jane Armstrong, to whom he was
  united March 24, 1887. She is a daughter of Alexander and Charlotte
  (Kennedy) Armstrong, and a granddaughter of Samuel and Elizabeth
  Armstrong, who came to America from County Down, Ireland. Mr. and Mrs.
  Gibson have six daughters, namely: Gula Elizabeth, who resides at home
  but enjoys the acquaintance of many New Castle friends; Mamie Opal, born
  January 2, 1885; and Helen Charlotte, Olive Gertrude, Theresa Catherine
  and Lois Matilda.
  
  Mr. Gibson's handsome, modern residence is a commodious two-story
  structure, placed some twenty-five yards from the highway, in the center
  of a fine lawn. His home has modern equipments and he has a system of
  waterworks with piping to his barn and stables, the latter buildings
  being also of modern and sanitary construction. He raises his own Jersey
  and Holstein stock and is one of the largest milk dealers in the
  township, having an immense trade in New Castle. With his family he
  belongs to the United Presbyterian Church.
