Died, In this city, Saturday afternoon,
October 22d, OF heart failure, Mr. Newton
Gibson, aged 90 years, 7 months and IL
days.
Mr.. Gibson had not felt very we'll for a
week or ten days before his death, but did
not consider himself as seriously sick. He
had not been at his regular work, but was
by no means confined to the house. He
attended to his duties about home, and
an hour before he died he was up 10 town,
went to a barber shop aud got shaved,
then went home, and In o few minutes
died.
Mr.. Gibson has been q risident OF this
city for many years, and was well-kuown
to all our citizeus. He was very quiet In
his demeanor, having little to say, but
being quite companionable when with
his old friends. He was q stage driver in
the days before railroads, and his coach
was twice held up by road agents. In one
Of these hold-ups a lady passenger recog-
I nized Jesse James, and called him by
name. Jesse responded to his name and
| returned to the lady her gold watch,
which he had taken. For a number Of
| years Mr.. Gibson has had a contract to
. sprinkle the streets aud we never heard
any fault found with his work. He was
also river observer at this port for the past
twenty years, and was regarded as one Of
, the most efficient in the service.
/, Died, at the residence OF his son, Mr..
Frank Goetz, at Hoislngton, Kas., 0cto.

Goetz, aged so years, l month IND Is days.
: About two weeks ago Mr.. Goetz went
3 TO Kansas, where he expected to make his
r future home with his son. He had lived
in this city for many years, and since the
: death Of his wife, which occurred about
seven years ago, had made his home with
, his daughters, Mrs. Frank Kriehn and
Mrs. A. t. johnson. RAJ
/ He was born In Alsace- Lorraine, 10 1918,
when that country belonged to France.
He was a Frenchman, aud proud OF his
I. birth. His parents were quite wealthy,
and he inherited aristocratic ways that
never left him. When misfortune over
took him, and his fortune took flight, he
did not know how to make another, but
. did know how to endure his loss with
! but little complaint. '''lo'-
He was well educated;; waA a lover OF
, history, and was well posted In such
, matters, aud loved to talk Of his early
. days. He never iorgaye Germany for
whipping his beloved France, and, worst
Of all, Tor keeping Alssce. Lorraine.
!. His health was good, aud no thought Of
death entered his mind. He was vlgor-
GUS In mind and body till the very
, moment when death struck him, when
he fell, and In a moment all was over.

He came to Lexington in August, 1871
/ and from the first became an active par
