Daughter of
Isaac & Connie Gibbs
BORN

DIED
Aug. 4, 1905
"GONE TO BE AN ANGEL"

Bonnie Gibbs was the daughter of Isaac and Connie (MNU) Gibbs.

There is a death certificate for the mother, "Connie Gibbs", in DeKalb Co., TN. She was born in Simpson Co., KY and died in Dowelltown, DeKalb Co., TN of tuberculosis (consumption) on Sept. 24, 1908 at age 32. She was married; so her maiden name was not Gibbs. I would guess that she was also buried here, but no proof. Her husband was buried here also.

Connie (b. abt. Feb. 1877) was married in abt. 1894 to Isaac Gibbs, Jr. (b. abt. Nov. 1866), and they were residing in Robertson Co., TN in the 1900 census. The 1910 census shows Isaac (widowed) and children residing in DeKalb Co., TN in the 1910 census, consistent with Connie dying in 1908 in DeKalb Co., TN.

According to Isaac's death certificate, he was also buried here, but he has no readable marker. Isaac Gibbs was born Nov 25, 1864 (by death cert.) or 1866 (1900 census, and the 1870 census has him age 4) the son of Isaac Gibbs, Sr., and Mary Wooden. Isaac's death certificate states he was born in TN (his son Earl of Liberty, TN was informant), and his parents were living in DeKalb Co., TN at the time. His parents then moved to Simpson Co., KY by the time of the 1870 census, taking their children with them, and he probably married there, since he was living there and his wife was born there. Isaac Gibbs died Nov. 19, 1928 in DeKalb Co., TN and was buried here.

Siblings of this infant were: Bessie B. (b. May 1898 TN) and Earl J. (b. abt. 1905 KY).

Two stones from this child's grave is that of Isaac's brother, James. The stone in between is illegible.
