Clifton Hill Loses a Good Citizen
W. A. Gibson, Dies at His Home in Clifton Hill, February 24th, at Age of 81 Years.
William Anthony Gibson, the oldest child of John and P. Gibson, was born January 9, 1848 and passed from this life February 24, 1929 having attained the ripe of age of 81 years, 1 month and 15 days.
He was born in Tennessee but when a child moved with his parents to Missouri settling in Randolph County, where his life was spent.
On January 21, 1873 he was married to Mary Elizabeth Hires. To this union was born one child, John Thomas, of near Roanoke.
He professed faith in Christ, uniting with the Sweet Springs Methodist Church, and lived a faithful Christian life. His years of affliction and suffering have been borne with Christian patients and fortitude.
He leaves to mourn his loss his devoted companion, the son, three grandchildren, Mrs. Elois Fullington of Huntsville, Adren and James of Roanoke, one great grandchild and many other relatives and friends. He was an honest, upright man, a kind neighbor, a good husband and father.
God sparred him to live among us for over four score years but his body grew care-worn and fail and he needed rest from the earthly duties. Now he has fallen asleep, into that sweet and peaceful rest with his Creator where no afflictions enter.
Funeral services were conducted at the Methodist Church Tuesday by the Rev. K. T. Davis assisted by Rev. P. F. Sears. Burial at the Clifton Hill cemetery. The pall bearers were Fay Mayo, Jeff Blair, Will Sanders, Will Baker, L. S. Harlan and Noah Lyle. The flower girls were Mrs. Bertha Marr, Mrs. James Gibson, Mrs. Jim Fullington and Mrs. F. L. Brockman.
