Our Gibson and allied families reunion is always held on the third Saturday in July in Doniphan. This year it will be the 17th at the Methodist Church on Plum St. Everyone is welcome. We are always looking for more cousins, if you know anyone from these two old newspaper clippings, please contact me.
Thanks,
