James H. McKibben.
The death of James H. McKibben occurred at the home at 406 Valley Street on Sunday, April 7, 1912, at six o'clock in the morning after an illness of two weeks of old age complications. The funeral was held from the residence at 2 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, the services being conducted by Rev. Wm. Murchie of the United Presbyterian church. Special music was rendered by Messrs Artz and Ellwood and Mrs. Irwin and Miss Spencer. The pallbearers were James Allen, James Wolfe, James Spicer, John Malmburg, Nate Brown and John Pettit. The remains were interred in the Red Oak Evergreen cemetery, being followed to their last resting place by a large cortege of sorrowing friends of the family, and many floral offerings were laid upon his bier.
Mr. McKibben was born April 27, 1833, in Center county, Pa., and was married in Stephenson county, Ill., Nov. 22, 1854, to Mary E. Stoner. To this union there were six children born and all are living as follows: Frank, of Stanton; Martha Taggart, of Nickerson, Kansas; Oscar V., of Stanton; G. G., of Janesville, Ohio; Mrs. Carrie B. Focht, of Red Oak.
From the obituary sketch used by Mr. Murchie we quote as follows: "The deceased has been confined to the house most of the winter. The last time he was down town was about two weeks ago. He felt that he was considerably stronger and made the trip to attend to some business. Soon after this trip it was noticed he was not so well, and seemed declining, yet he has been conscious until very near the end. He was always in these last days glad to see his many friends and neighbors. He was evidently dwelling much upon the past in memory. While not identified with the church yet his friends testify to interest in the work and in these last days especially he seemed to recognize his dependency upon the risen Lord."
Deceased was an old soldier, having served in the civil war with Co. K of the 46th Regulars of Illinois Volunteers, enlisting at Freeport, and served with honor and distinction. In 1875 he removed to Iowa and settled in Montgomery County where he farmed for about twenty-seven years, removing to Red Oak when he retired from active farm work in 1902. Mr. McKibben was a man of absolute integrity and frugal industry, and since his residence in this city had become recognized as one of the stable and dependable men of the community. He was a member of the G. A. R., and many of his old comrades of the Post paid tribute to his memory. He is survived by Mrs. McKibben and the sons and daughters named above, besides numerous other relatives, many of whom were present during his last illness and at his funeral. The family has the sympathy of the entire community in their deep affliction.
