| JUDGE DENNIS S. GIBBS |
|
|
| DR.
ERWIN GIBBS is a prominent lawyer and an old resident
of Noble County. He is the son of Dennis Gibbs,
one of the early New England settlers of Olive Township, and
was born in that township, Dec. 25, 1825. He was
reared on his father's farm and shared the rough experiences
of pioneer life. He received such schooling as the
inferior subscription schools of the early days afforded.
He was editorially connected with two of the early
newspapers of Noble County. He began the study of law
in the office of Hon. Isaac Parrish and finished in
the office of Hon. W. H. Frazier. He was
admitted to the bar in 1868, but did not enter upon the
practice of the law until 1875. His early political
teachings were such that he became a "free-soiler" and cast
his first vote for the nominees of that party. On the
formation of the Republican party he became an adherent to
its principles and still remains constant to them. He
has taken an active part in politics for many years and is a
sound and effective public speaker. In 1863 Mr.
Gibbs was elected to the office of probate judge and for
two terms fulfilled the duties of that position. In
1870 he went to Kansas where he embarked largely in the real
estate business until 1873 when the panic brought financial
disaster to him. In 1875 he returned to Noble County
and in partnership with William Chambers engaged in
the practice of law. He has since had a large practice
and is a very successful lawyer. Judge Gibbs
has been twice married - first, in 1853 to Rhoda
Chamberlain, of Beverly, O., who died in 1859; and,
second, in 1864 to Ada M. Tuttle. By the first
marriage there was one child who died young. Three
children have been borne of the second union - Mattie L.,
Dennis C. and Ada M. In religious belief,
Judge Gibbs is a Universalist. |
