Death After Long Illness. Phil Gibson Long Well Known in City
Death came yesterday morning at 8 to relieve from a long suffering Philip Gibson, eldest son of ex-United States Senator Paris Gibson, of this city. For more than four years Phil Gibson had been a sufferer from paresis, having sustained an attack of the disease in the fall of 1911. For a period of two years he was given treatment by some of the best known experts in treating the disease in Wauwatosa, Wis., in a private sanitarium but the disease failed to yield, and desiring to have him nearer to his home, but still where the best of care, attention and all possible treatment might be administered to the patient, it was arranged that he be admitted to Warm Springs and it was in that institution that he died.
Philip Gibson was born in Minneapolis on July 2, 1859, and was in his 57th year. He came to Montana with his father in 1879, reaching the state by way of Pocatello, Idaho. With his father he embarked in the sheep business, the ranch headquarters being at the mouth of Otter creek, near the present town of Armington. This was one of the first sheep camps to be established in this portion of Montana. Some of the structures were built by the Gibsons for that business are still standing.
In 1882, Mr. Gibson came to engage with his father in the work of building the city of Great Falls, Senator Gibson having been the founder of Great Falls. Philip opened an insurance business on Central avenue opposite the Park hotel and continued in that location for a considerable period. He was an active worker in the development of the city through his earliest year, and at no time until his health failed, could there be found a more loyal advocate of the advantages of this city than Phil Gibson. He gave much of his time to assisting in anything that would help to stimulate the city's progress, and his purse strings were easily loosed for any cause that he believed would further the city's interests or to aid his fellow citizens. He helped affairs by affiliating with movements to build them up; such was his membership in the volunteer fire department. In his active life he was one of the most widely known citizens of Great Falls.
Mr. Gibson and Miss Mary Douglas, a daughter of a prominent Minneapolis family, were married at that city on Aug. 9, 1892.
Mrs. Gibson, with three children, Paris D. Gibson and Mrs. William Leland of Great Falls, and Mrs. George Burns of Chicago, survive, as do the father, Senator Paris Gibson and brother, Teodore Gibson, both of this city. There are five grandchildren.
