William Gibson is one of the well-known citizens of Cherry
county, and a prosperous and well-to-do farmer. His residence is
on section 34, township 26, range 33, and he is the owner of four
hundred and eighty acres of land, all of which is well
improved. He is a gentleman of integrity and good judgment and
well merits the success which has come to him and the enviable
reputation which he enjoys as an old settler and worthy resident
of his locality.
He attended the common
schools, and worked at farming through his boyhood, coming to
Nebraska with his parents about 1883, and when he was
twenty-three left home and started for himself, taking a farm in
Fillmore county, Nebraska, which he operated for several
years. In 1893 he went with his family to McPherson county,
settling on barren prairie land, filing on a homestead and proved
up on it. There he put up sod buildings and built up a good
ranch. That place was located thirty-five miles from a town, and
they lived on it for about nine years, then moved to Mullen and
made that their home for two years, coming to his present ranch
from there. He now has a good ranch and home, having put up good
buildings, fences and every improvement. He lately erected a fine
barn fifty-six by thirty- two feet, and has plenty of sheds, with
wells, windmills, etc.
According to William's short obituary, his ranch was northwest of Mullen. ``He became known as a heavy shipper of livestock and for his Polled Hereford herds.''
Sadie's parents were John and Agnes Brown. John immigrated from Scotland to Nebraska.
Sadie's name was spelled ``Suvina'' on the 1900 census.
