Alex Gibson born abt. 1893 in Floyd Co. KY; married to(2). Lillie Curr born about 1900 in VA. was living in Floyd Co. when they married in 1918. Alex was employed by the railroad and is said to have been killed in an accident and he was said to have died young. I would say it had to be after 1920 as two daughters were born to this union. I have been told that this family MAY have used the surname of Collins?? Alex Gibson's (1.) wife was Hattie Row of Magoffin Co. At a dead end in finding out about his death.
