Death of Edward Tibbits
It is our painful duty this week to chronicle the death of one of the pioneers of Dane County-a man loved and respected by all who knew him. Edward Tibbits died at his home in this city on Thursday, October 17, 1889. He was born in Cranwich, Norfolk, Eng. March 10, 1814 and was therefore in his 76th year. Feb. 10, 1833 he was married to Ann Rolfe who, with six children-two sons and four daughters-still survive him. In May 1853, he came to America, his family following a year later.
In the fall of 1854 he located on a farm in the town of Rutland, about four miles from Stoughton where he continued to reside until April of the present year when he removed to this city. He had been an invalid for nearly two years, and his death was not a surprise to his friends.
Mr. Tibbits united with the M. E. church of Stoughton in the earliest days, his name being one of the first recorded on the roll book of that society, and continued a devoted member until his death. The funeral was held on the Sunday after noon conducted by Rev. B. W. White, and was largely attended by old friends and neighbors of the deceased. The bereaved family desire to express their sincere thanks to their friends and others for the many acts of kindness and expressions of sympathy in their deep (remainder of article illegible)

A FEW NOTES ABOUT OUR TIBBITS ANCESTRY
Edward and Ann Tibbits were both born in 1814. They lived in Methwold, Norfolk Co., England. Seven children were born to them: Mary Ann, Rebecca, Sarah, Fred, George, and Susan. They decided to emigrate to the U.S.A. and in 1853 Edward went on ahead to earn money to send for his family. He went first to Ypsalanti, Michigan.
Ann took the five youngest children and went to the work house. Mary Ann went to work on a farm and Jane became a maid in a wealthy home. Ann had to work wherever she was assigned while the children were cared for by others. One day little George soiled his clothes very badly and his mother was called to clean him up. This she gladly did for she seldom saw the children. When she had finished, she kissed him and told him to do it again.
In the spring of 1854 Edward sent the money and Ann and the children embarked, steerage class, on a boat bound for the U.S. They were on the water five weeks and three days. They joined Edward in Michigan and a few months later went to Stoughton, Wisconsin where they made their home.
