GIBBONS, Nellie, The Orleans Progress (April 22, 1897) Death Notice
John Gibbons received a message yesterday morning from Indianapolis, stating that his daughter, Miss Nellie, who had undergone a surgical operation for a tumor, was very low. He left at once for that city on the 9:42 train.
Later - Word was received this morning that Miss Nellie is dead. The remains will be here at 5 o'clock this afternoon.

The Orleans Progress (April 29, 1897) Obituary
Miss Nellie Gibbons was born at Salem, Ind. on the 23rd day of August, 1873; departed this life at Indianapolis, Ind., on the 23rd day of April, 1897.
Miss Nellie was the fifth child of seven children born to Mr. and Mrs. John Gibbons, five of whom had already preceded Nellie to that beautiful land where the soul of the redeemed is perfectly satisfied. Mr. Fred Gibbons is the only remaining child left to bless and comfort the declining years of these often bereaved parents. Although compelled, by the inexorable law of destiny, to consign the bodies of their beloved children to the earth, one after the other, they have had the glorious privilege of resigning their precious souls to God of whom they are a part, and to have the saddened but comforting memory of the loving smile, the kindly word and the affectionate caress to cherish in their hearts as they journey through this pilgrimage to the other country, where children and parents will be reunited never to be separated.
Miss Nellie was never of a strong and vigorous constitution, hence, she was an easy victim to disease. What she lost in bodily health was simply repaid in beauty and grandeur of character; to know her was to love her, generous and kind to a fault, considerate of others pleasure and self sacrificing to the extent of abnegation. She was sympathetic and amiable. She extended sympathy where ever and when ever it was necessary and her unassuming manners attracted the admiration of all with whom she came in contact. This may be said of her character. Not only for a few years, but for the duration of her while life.
She possessed a reverent disposition for sacred things and her love for her mother, father and brother was evinced by the utmost esteem and affection.
She united with the M. E. Church at Bethel, near Lebanon, Ind., nearly five years ago and was happily converted at new Albany, Ind., about two years ago at an evangelistic revival conducted by the Rev. Harrison and wife.
When her father determined to permanently locate his family residence at Orleans, Miss Nellie transferred her church membership here and also became a member of the Epworth League. She was particularly adapted and qualified to assist in the social and musical features of church work. Her graceful manner, kind word and pleasant smile were a benediction. She dearly loved music and flowers. The good, the true and beautiful hid from her mind the little imperfections that mar and dwarf the pleasure of life.
As has been intimated, Miss Nellie's health was always inclined to delicacy, but her fatal sickness only developed about 12 months since. For that length of time she has almost continuously suffered with intense pain. She was afflicted with an ovarian tumor and her suffering became so excruciating that she became reconciled to place herself under the hand of a skill physician and surgeon on Indianapolis for treatment. Four weeks ago Nellie was taken by her father to Dr. Eastman, at Indianapolis, who after preparing her for so far as human knowledge could discern for the fearful ordeal of surgical operation, the test was made Saturday morning. The kind surgeon found that her disease had become so far advanced that her recovery would prove extremely doubtful. His prognosis proved too true, for she peacefully passed away.
Miss Nellie fully appreciated the desperateness of her chance of life and was fully prepared for the change if it should come.
Her loving mother and father were with her when she entered the valley of the shadows and when their loving hearts and hands could do no more she quickly resigned herself into the hands of her blessed Lord and Master who took her unto Himself.
She spoke kindly to and of her surgeon and of her nurses.
She said not to grieve for herself or a love of life, but her principle regret seemed to be that her parents and brother would sorrow because of her departure. Tender and sympathizing in life, loving and compassionate in death.
To the bereaved parents and brother we say grieve not for Nellie. She is happier now than mortal can ever be. Submitted by Tom Agan.
