OBITUARY Harriet Ann Gibbons, nee Harris, was born April 15, 1838, in Hardin county, Kentucky, and died Monday, March 21, 1904, at 4:30 pm, after an illness of only six days, at her home near Cottonwood, Idaho, at the age of 65 years, 11 months and 6 days. When eleven years old she moved with her parents from Kentucky to Davis county, Iowa. She was united in marriage March 17, 1857, to Peter R Gibbons at Bloomfield, Iowa, residing near that place until the fall of 1881 when they moved to Boone county, Iowa, living there until they came west in the spring of 1880 and settled near Latch, Washington. They remained there seven years before coming to their presnet home. To this union were born five children, three boys and two girls, the eldest Mrs. J.E. DeVault living at Bloomfield, Iowa; Willie H. dying at the age of two years; Arthur J near Blackfoot, Idaho; Mrs. Fred O. Smith of Clarkston, Washington; and the youngest J.W., residing at home. She leaves a husband, four children, nine grandchildren, (one grandchild having preceded her to the better land,) three brothers and two sisters besides many friends to mourn her loss. During her last illness her husband, who has been her constant companion for 47 years, and her two youngest children were by her bedside as were her two oldest grandchildren, Misses Stella and Beula DeVault, of Bloomfield, Iowa, who came to spend the summer with her but were only permitted to enjoy two happy weeks by her side when God called her home. At The early age of eleven years she united with the Methodist Episcopal church and for 54 years remained a constant worker for her Master. She was a loving wife, an affectionate mother and a helping friend to all, ever placing self last. She will be greatly missed in the home and community in which she lived. Those who were permitted to witness her last moments could almost see within the pearly gates, so joyous and happy was her entrance there. She fell asleep to wake in Jesus' arms with the smile of an angel on her face. A few of her last precious words were: "Jesus is calling, "Why don't you come home," "I am not afraid, He died to save me' and 'The Spirit calls'". She was laid to rest on Wednesday, March 23, in the cemetery at Nezperce, Idaho, Rev. Dake, of Cottonwood, conducting the services, his text being verses 13 and 14 of chapter 7, Revelations. Harriet Ann Gibbons is the daughter of Jacob M Harris and Eliza Jane Slack Harris.
