It is a biography on Orlando Gibson. Orlando Gibson, foreman of Pennsylvania Railroad car shops, Huntingdon, Pa., was born in Duncansville, Blair county, July 18, 1852. He is a son of Abraham and Sarah (Hamor) Gibson, natives of Blair county. Abraham Gibson was born in 1827; he now (1896) resides in Altoona. His wife was born in 1839, and died February 2, 1874. (Abraham and Sarah) had 6 children: Mary, wife of Charles C. Allen in Altoona; George in Sacramento, Calif; Orpha, wife of George Shoemaker of Sacramento; and Elizabeth, wife of George Clark, also of Sacramento (my note: maybe the 6th died? he only mentions the 4 above plus Orlando). Orlando Gibson was married in Altoona, July 18, 1872, to Annie C., daughter of Joseph and Charity Marshall, both deceased. Mrs. Gibson was born in Bloomfield, Perry county, Pa, July 8, 1854. They have 6 children: Hattie Flora Belle (Mrs. John Kaylor of Pittsburg); William A., born December 24, 1874; James Marshall, born October 21, 1879; Mary H., born February 16, 1883; Blanche C., born February 2, 1887; and Oliver Elder, born June 25, 1889.
