James McKibben, Jr., grandfather of Dr. W. W. McKibben, of Worcester, was born at Cedar Run in what is now Clinton county, Pennsylvania, about nine miles southeast of Lockhaven, Pennsylvania, about 1800. He married Catherine Lamb, daughter of Hugh and (???) (Allison) McManigal. Her mother was the daughter of Daniel Allison, and was an aunt of United States Senator W. B. Allison. She was born June 11, 1807, in Centre county, Pennsylvania, and died September 5, 1855. He died July 28, 1858. Their children were: Frank Reed, see forward; David A., resides in Leavenworth, Kansas, and is president of the Home-Riverside Coal Mining Company of Leavenworth; Joseph; Lucetta; and James A.
Frank Reed McKibben, father of Dr. W. W. McKibben. was born at Caroline, Seneca county, Ohio, December 2, 1843. He was the fifth child of a family of six children. He received a common school education, but was largely self educated. At the death of his father in 1858 he went to live with Henry Isabel, at Plymouth, Ohio, where he took up the trade of carriage trimmer. He worked with Mr. Isabel also at Mansfield and Shenandoah, Ohio, working at his trade until after the civil war broke out.
He enlisted in November, 1861, in Company A, Major William McLoughlin's Squadron, First Ohio Independent Cavalry, which was soon afterward attached to the famous brigade of General W. T. Sherman. The company proceeded from Mansfield to the Big Sandy valley in Eastern Kentucky, serving under Colonel (afterwards President) James A. Garfield in the campaign against Brigadier-General Humphrey Marshall, of the Confederate forces. Mr. McKibben was in the battle of Kernstown, Virginia, March 23, 1862, against Stonewall Jackson. In the summer of 1863 his squadron was transferred to Burnside's command in the Army of the Potomac, and he was in the battles of Knoxville September 3, 1863; at Cumberland Gap; Morristown; Strawberry Plains and in many skirmishes and minor engagements. At Smoky Mountain he was wounded in the breast and leg and carried back to the city of Knoxville in an ambulance, and remained for many weeks in the hospital.?? He was later transferred to General Sherman's command at Buzzard's Roost, in northern Georgia, and was in the famous March to the Sea. He finally rode back to Nashville where he was mustered out in 1865.
After the war he located for a short time at Plymouth, Ohio, and Leavenworth, Kansas, and finally settled at Fort Smith, Arkansas, in the dry goods business, as clerk for his brother, David A. McKibben. He had a tobacco store of his own for a time, but eventually bought a farm which he carried on, working in his brother's store in the winter season and on his farm in the summer. In 1870 he was superintendent of the Shaw-Cotton Plantation on the Arkansas river for about a year. He removed to Van Buren, Arkansas, where he opened a general store which he carried on for about seven years alone, then took into partnership his brother-in-law, Henry Pape, under the firm name of McKibben & Pape. In 1893 he sold out his interests and the business was continued by the firm of H. F. and C. A. Pape.
He bought a stock ranch of 6,000 acres five miles from Wagoner. Indian Territory, on the reservation of the Creek Indians. In addition to his ranch he carried on a general store there. His store was burned and he lost heavily. After four years he returned to Van Buren and became the General Agent of the Union Central Life Insurance Company of Cincinnati, Ohio.
