Murphy Giberson, Ada Harriet Giberson's paternal grandfather, married Lydia Stickney. He had a grist mill; rye was the grain, as there was no wheat. Maple sugar was made, and sheep raised for wool, which was spun, woven and made into clothes, all by hand. They also raised flax, which was spun and woven into sheets, pillow cases, and table clothes. Lydia Stickney had the first iron cookstove, and the first buggy to be seen on the St. John River. Fifty-eight grandchildren grew to maturity.
