Pennsylvania, May 8. 1888. His father
and in fact, his ancestors for several gener-
atoms were tillers of the soil. His boyhood
was spent on his fathers farm, where he
learned the rudiments of farming that came
into such good play after his arrival in Min
nesota. He attended, while boy, the dis
trict school and later on became a pupil at
the La Raysville academy. Having COM
pleted the studies at the academy he matri-
culated at the Susquehanna Collegiate in
stitute. He took select course, and con-
sequently was not graduated. AT the end
of his course at this institution he studied
law and attended lectures for two years at
the law department of the university of
Michigan at Ann ArbOr, receiving his di-
plOma in the early spring of 1861.
Having finished his preparatory legal
studies he came West with no particular
place in view. Passing through Illinois he
left the railroad at Rock Island. the western
terminus of the Chicago. Rock Island &
Pacific. and started on foot through Iowa.
His funds were exhausted, and, i'm order to
gain food and shelter along the road, he Ia
bored as field hand at many of the farms.
While tramping through the state he in
spected the towns, but was not satisfied
with the outlook until he reached Albert
Lea, where he settled permanently. His ar
rival took place in the fall and that winter
he taught his first school. The second year
he again taught, and the following year.
1868, he taught at Geneva, where he had
previously located a farm. He was sent to
the legislature as representative for Free
born county in 1868 and served in the ses-
si0ns of 1864 and 1865. He was elected to
the sessions of 1876 and 1877. and at the
latter session was elected speaker. Again
in 1884 he was returned TO the lower house
speaker. GRUMPY.

unfailing regularity. In the political world
he has always figured as the farmers candi-
date, and On this account was he elevated to
the speakerShIp on the occasion of his first
election to that position. His second ele-
walton to the speakership was compliment
to his former successful administration of
the duties of presiding officer.
In appearance Mr.. Gibbs is about 5 feet
10 inches in height and weighs in the neigh
borhood of $50 pounds. He is rather loose
jointed, so to speak, and his figure impresses
the careful observer as being possessed of
large bones. He has very large hands, that
indicate at a glance that they have done
more than their share of manual labor. He
has heavy suite of very dark brown hair
that fronts a good-siZed and good-shaped
forehead. His cheek bones are quite prom
inenf, while the lower outlines of his face
are concealed in a dense growth of chin
whiskers and mustache of a sandy-brownish
color. His eyes are dark. The general ex-
preston of his face shows that he is
possessed of an easygoing disposition and
sanguine temperament. AS a public
speaker he is fair, while as party to a pri-
vate conversation he appears to better adj
vantage. He invariably takes the other
member of the conversation into his con-
fidence. and thus interests him by appeaI-
ing unconsciCusly for his help and assist
ance.
HE is VERY POPULAR
throughout his own: county and the south
ern portion of the state, and has taken
quite prominent part in the various polit-
ical gatherings that have been held in that
locality during the past twenty odd years.
He is quite well known throughout the
state, and has been in attendance at several
of the state conventions, though not as
candidate for any particular Office. He is a
married man. His marriage was celebrated
In 1868. His family consists of himself and
wife.
