Weatherford, Texas, Feb. 81, 1909.
Mr.. Editor: Your paper was re-
ceived last evening containing the
account of the death OF John F..
Gibbs, who was brother to my wife.
The news filled our home with sorrow
and mourning. John was brigh,
young man, had few equals, was a
successful lawyer, good christian
worker, a member OF the M. f.
Church, South, and a Mason. How
many other orders he may have
belonged to ] know not. But there
was one old song we used to sing
"Do they miss me at home?" John
yes they will miss you at home, ir
church and elsewhere. May the
blessings of God rest on his aget
father and on his wife and children
We hope to meet you again some
where in the glory land, John, goot
bye for a few days.

Your committee, to whom
was entrusted the duty Of drafting
resolutions expressive of the senti-
ments of the bar, touching the pro-
fcssional life and character OF John +.
Gibbs, Esq, late a member Of this
Bar, now SO recently deceased, beg
to submit the following:
Mr.: Gibbs was truly regarded as
one of the younger members of this
Bar but Notwithstanding his compar-
ative youth professionally, his posit-
ion and standing was definitely fixed
as a weh informed, industrious, PAINS
taking and conscientious lawyer, his
xucoess as a practiCing attorney has
been marked. Ability to overcome
difficulties was the most distinctive
mark Of his genius. Sterling integri-
ty, good common sense, studious
habits, an excellent knowledge OF
men, rare moral courage, and a
remarkable grasp OF elementary legal
principles constituted his chief equip.
ment for the practice Of his chosen
profession. lie has always beer
regarded as entirely trustworthy and
faithful to the interest OF his client.
He had the courage to refuse bust

John Franklin Gibbs.

John Franklin Gibbs was born in
the city of Versailles, Mo-, March
3Ist, 1868, died at the home of his
uncle, DR.. George c. Wilson, Neva-
ia, Mo-, Feb. 10Th, 1909, age 80
years, 10 months and I6 days.
Deceased was the son of VIM. S.
and Mary f. Gibbs. He passed his
early childhood in Versailles, his
youth and early manhood being
passed on n farm in south Morgan.
His only education was obtained in
the public school. February aSr,,
1899, he married Miss Hannah M.
Marriott. To this union three child
rem were born, two Of them, Guy and
William NJ, with their mother, sur
.vive him. He joined the NJ. +.
Church. South, Ut the sss Of twenty,
and was faithful, active and ener-
aetic member, always found doing
what he could for his church and the
Master. He was member Of the
Board Of Trustees, a member OF the
building committee in the erection Of
,t,,e new church, and Superintendent
OF the Sunday school. His religion
was not the Sunday only variety, it
was just as good on Monday, or any
other day in the week, he was a prac-
trial, working christian.
He was also noted as a practicD
working citizen, always using his best
cndeavors for the betterment OF
society, of politics, and the uplift .oi
humanity. In 1896 he was elected
sheriff of Morgan county, and re.
elected in 1898, making a faithful
official. While serving as sheriff he
began the study of law, and just
prior to the expiration of his term a.
sheriff he was admitted to the bar

siOnally 10 disnonest practices. lie
adopted and followed the safe rule of
adjusting and compromising contro-
versies of doubtful legal status, and
Of litigating only questions and causes
of real merit and substance. His
practice showed that he had high
conception Of his duty and position
as an officer OF the Court, never
deeming it incompatible with his
duty to his client to aid the Court in
dispensing justice, esteeming it
high prerogative not only to know the
law, but to fairly present it to the
Court. In the trial Of causes he was
vigilant, resourceful, urging every
reasonable intendment in favor Of his
client, but with all, fair and honor
able to his antagonist. One Of his
we'll known traits Of character was
frankness, even amounting at times,
to bluntness, but having merit in the
fact that his position was always
thereby made plain. His knowledge
OF the ways of business was superior
and direct, and as a plain business
lawyer he exceiled. We are not un-
mindful that some times the strife for
mastery in conflicting interests,
heightened by ambition and strong
personality. caused bitterness for the
time, yet it "passed with the night"
and we appreciated him because he
was so generous and honorable as an
. antagonist.
Bro. Gibbs had high conception
OF the duty devolving upon the MEM
bers Of his profession to society. lie
was generous Of his time and talents
v in the interest Of the public. He al
t ways had the courage OF his convic-
a tons, and, as light was given him,
a he fearlessly raised his voice for the
/. right regardless Of the consequences
v to himself. We take pride as mem.
E bers Of his profession In the high
e standard OF his life, and held him al
:, ways in the highest personal esteem.
!, We deplore the fact that in the
n midst Of a useful and growing pro-
c fessional life that the "Great Change
d should come so soon.
J. We regard the death of Bro. Gibb
= as distinct loss to the profession ol
d law, to the state and to society al
large.
And TO the end that this expression
OF the sentiments of his professiona
brethren may be preserved as last
= ing memorial, be it '"
RESOLVED, That these resolution
be presented to the several Cour,
of record of Morgan County
with the request that the same b
made a matter of record.
