Mrs. Gibson was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Earhart and her father was secretary of state for two terms in the 80s. He also was the representative of the Southern Pacific interests in the state for many years. For some time he had charge of the Indian agency at Grand Ronde, near which pace Mrs. Gibson was born 62 years ago. He was a close friend of Lieutenant Phil Sheridan and General . S. Grant. Mrs. Earhart, 82 years old, is a resident of Portland, living at 365 Twelfth street.
It was while Mr. Earhart was secretary of state and Mr. Gibson was in business in Salem that Mr. Gibson and Miss Earhart met and were married there in 1888. For 26 years they have been living in Seattle where Mr. Gibson has been in business. They visited Mr. Earhart in Portland a short time ago and returned to Seattle, where Mrs. Gibson’s condition became worse.
Mrs. F. H. Alliston and Mrs. C. E. Koehler of Portland are sisters. Mrs. Gibson also is survived by a widower and a son, R. E. Gibson, who is associated with his father in business in Seattle. Mr. Gibson came to Portland from San Francisco in 1884 and left soon thereafter for Salem, to go into business there. Mr. Earhart was grand inspector-general of the Scottish Rite and held other high offices in the order for many years.
