Herbert Gibson
October 22, 1868 - October 16, 1900
Herbert Gibson was an early settler of York Township. He was born in Fond du Lac County, a son to Edward and Frances Gibson.[i] He married Maude Humiston in 1895 at York Center Methodist Church. The 1900 Federal, Clark County, York Township Census lists a Herbert Gibson (31) and his wife, Maude (22). Similarly, the 1880 Census shows a Maude Humiston (2) as a daughter to a J. (Jesse) and Lustina Humiston. Jesse Humiston was a pioneer of York Township and a Civil War veteran. Herbert Gibson is believed to have been a brother to Emma Root (George Root's wife), Hannah Graves (Walter Graves' wife) and Martha Graves (believed to have been Walter Graves' second wife); all whom are buried in York Center Cemetery. Herbert died as a young man of typhoid fever.[ii] [cemeteries/footer_gif.html]
