  HENRY W. McKIBBINS, proprietor of the McKibbins House at Lopez, Pennsylvania,
  was born in Elmira, New York, August 24, 1867, a son of Henry and Caroline
  (Granger) McKibbins. The father of our subject was a well-known citizen of Pine
  City, Pennsylvania, where he kept a hotel and spent the most of his life. He
  died in that place May 28, 1872, aged forty-eight years. His wife is still
  living and resides with her son, Henry W., at Lopez. This worthy couple were the
  parents of eight children, namely: Mary, the wife of Emery Heller, of Breesport,
  New York; Lottie, deceased; Samuel, a painter and paper-hanger in
  Elmira, New York; Mattie, deceased; Henry W., Carrie, deceased; Charles, a
  journeyman painter and paper-hanger; and Thomas, deceased.
  
      Our subject received his education in the public schools of Elmira, and when
  eighteen years of age began tending bar at Waverly, New York. For nine years he
  was thus employed, working in Waverly, Hancock, Lordville, New York city, and in
  Wyalusing and Dushore, Pennsylvania. In October, 1894, he bought the lease and
  fixtures of the Kennedy House, Laporte, Pennsylvania, and, changing the name to
  the Commercial House, operated it until June 1896, when he sold out, and going
  to Lopez purchased the Mark Brown saloon, which he rebuilt into his present
  commodious up-to-date hotel. He is a model landlord, giving every branch of his
  business his personal attention and making all his patrons comfortable and
  satisfied. He consequently enjoys a large patronage and is making a great
  success in his business.
  
      Mr. McKibbins was united in marriage August 20, 1893, to Miss Mary Sax,
  daughter of Martin and Elizabeth (Dunkleburg) Sax, of Wilmot, Bradford county,
  Pennsylvania, and to them have been born two children - Henry M. and Maggie. The
  family are members of the Catholic church and are highly esteemed by all their
  acquaintances.
