SUDDEN DEATH OF THIS wELL.KNowN An

SUDDEN DEATH OF THIS wELL.KNowN AND
POPULAR CITIZEN.
This community was startled this morning
by the announcement of the death of Mr.. Jo-
seph Gibson, the well.known and popular
agent of the Southern Express Company. In
deed, SO recently had he been seen on our
Streets apparently in perfect health, that the
sad fact could scarcely be realized.
Mr. Gibson died last night at 1899 o'clock in
his room over the express office in the Pace
Block.
He was taken sick Friday morning, grew
worse and was in q critical condition all day
Saturday. This was, however. known to but
a few of his most Intimate friends. Yesterday
it became apparent that death was ear. He
continued to sink and expired as above stated
Mr.. Gibson was fifCy-eight years OF age and
was native OF Augusta county, Va. He came
to Richmond In 1860 as agent of the Southern
pacity ever since. How well he had ischarg
ed his lie work the record of over thirty years
faithful and efficient service well declares.
Mr.. Gibson was as well known as any citizen
in this community, and was deservedly popu
lar. He was courteous, obliging and uniform
ly polite. AS a business man. he was prompt,
as a companion, genial and agreeable, and
faithful as q friend. With those having bust
ness with his office he was held in the highest
esteem and every one of his snbordinates were
devotedly attached to him. The deceased was
q widower, and leaves son about seventeen
years of age. He has been off to school, but
reached the city this morning. One of the sis
tiers of the deceased is here, and two others are
expected to arrive this Observation-Disclosures
State 18th.
The funeral services were from the Monu-
mental Church yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Gibson's father and family resided near
FishersvilIe, Augusta county, where he was
reared. They died some years ago. 4 brother
fell in battle during the war. Miss Mildred
Gibson his sister, is teacher in the Wesleyan
Female Institute, in this city.
The deceased was a favorite with large cir
Gle of friends in Staunton and Augusta coun-
ty, who received the sad intelligence of his
death.with the deepest sorrow He was prom
inent member of the fraternity of Masons.
