GIBSON, GEORGE W.,  born in Canada, September 1, 1834, is the son of 
James and Lamira (Arms) Gibson, being the second of their ten children.  He 
lived with his parents on the farm until about seventeen, when he moved to 
Hanover, N.H., where he learned the jeweler's trade.  Coming to Richford in 
1859 as a journeyman jeweler he was induced to "set up a business" in the 
store of George W. Arms, from which small beginning has grown his 
present business.  May 15, 1858, he married Jane E. Shepard, of St. Armand, 
P.Q, and of this marriage thirteen children have been born, eight of whom 
are living.  In politics Mr. Gibson is a Republican, having been selectman 
and justice of the peace for thirteen years.
