Connersville News-Examiner, May 26, 1919.
MRS. HELEN HIBBEN CALLED BY DEATH. Aged Woman Had Been Ill During The Past Year. -- BORN IN BALTIMORE -- Mrs. Helen Hibben, widow of the late George Hibben, of Chicago, died at the Glen Heron farm, south of this city, at about six o'clock yesterday afternoon, after an illness of a year's duration. Mrs. Hibben, in past years had divided her time between Connersville and Chicago, but last October she was not able to return to Chicago, as had always been her custom, but remained here and her sons came weekly to visit her. Had the deceased lived until the twenty-eighth day of this month, she would have been eighty-seven years of age. Deceased, whose maiden name was Helen Heron, came to Connersville from Baltimore, Maryland, her birthplace, at the age of five years and lived here from that time until her marriage to Mr. Hibben, after which she resided in Chicago, where her children were born and reared. Mr. Hibben died in Chicago in 1892 [1991], after having lived a very successful business life. Surviving are her three sons, Heron K. Hibben, George Hibben and Samuel Hibben and four grandchildren, all of Chicago. A number of distant relatives live in this vicinity. Mrs. Hibben when but a young woman, was one of the most noted beauties of the state and was famed afar as one whose beauty was scarcely equaled anywhere. She attended the Oxford College for Girls. She was graduated from that institution in the year 1852. She and Mr. Hibben were married May 7, 1862. Mrs. Hibben, a member of a family of six children, with the exception of a brother, Dr. Nathan Heron, who has been an invalid for the past fifty years, is the last of the family to answer the final summons. The funeral will be held Thursday afternoon at three o'clock at Glen Heron. Interment will be made in Daleview. [Copy provided by George Hibben]
