GIBSON, was born February 28, 1797, and his mother, Jane BEATY, June 13, 1795 His grandfather, James GIBSON, was a native of Virginia, and his grandmother, Sallie IRELAND was born at sea. His father came to this locality with his parents, James and Sallie (IRELAND) GIBSON, in 1814, from Georgetown, Ky., and his mother's people came from Pennsylvania in a very early day. John I. and Jane (BEATY) GIBSON were married December 15, 1815, and were residents of Ohio County til their deaths, Mr. GIBSON dying in 1852, and Mrs. GIBSON in 1850. George B., the subject of our notice, was reared on a farm, and followed that occupation till thirty-seven years of age. He then abandoned the farm and moved to Rising Sun, in order to give his children greater advantages of education, and after some time spent in the produce business, in 1872 purchased the stock of hardware owned by James Reister, and embarked in that business, which he has since continued, greatly increasing his stock. He has the only hardware emporium of the town, and carried a stock valued at $10,000, besides a large line of farming implements, for the sale of which he acts as agent. Mr. GIBSON was married, in 1856, to Elizabeth Stopher, a daughter of William STOPHER, and old resident of Ohio County, and they have six children: William, Charles, Matthias S., Hugh, John and Harry. Mr. GIBSON is a member of the I.O.O. F. and F. & A.M., and a Democrat.
