The New Salem Association
Of Old Regular Baptist of Jesus Christ

With a sad feeling and a broken heart I attempt and try to write an obituary of our dear beloved father and husband, Miles Gibson, Sr. who was born on the head of Sly Branch of Right Beaver Creek, March 15, 1893. The son of Ben Gibson and Aggie Jane Jones, and departed this life at his home the 19th -day of May, 1953 at Langley, Ky. His stay on earth was 60 years, two months and five days. He was in a--_-_d to Lucy Bradley, the daughter of Butler Bradley and Mary Collins Bradley on the 11th., day of November 1511, and to this union were born seven children, five boys and two girls Champ. Ishmeal Earale Russell. Miles Junior, Aggie Jane Collins, Stella Jean Martin, whom he has left with our dear mother to mourn his loss.
Dad has always had a hard way in this life, his dear mother dying and leaving him when he was only 10 years old, to be brought up by his dear old dad, Ben Gibson to whom we feel to believe, was a God fearing man and made peace with His Lord. Several rears ago, he was blessed to live and see some of his children come into the old church with that great hope they would all live together in peace some day
We feel to believe that Dad was a Christian long before he made his open confession to the church that he believed
that God had forgiven him of his sins. that he wanted to be
baptized so him and mother were baptized the same day, May 23, 1948 at the Old Providence 'Church by J. C. Mosley and E. V. Hopkins and took up fellowship at the Old Bethel Church at Wilson Creek of Regular Baptist.
A short time later dad became ill with a bad heart, and his last few years on earth were spent in going to church and reading the Bible, it seemed to do him good to see his children come home as he would talk to us all and give us the best counsel. His life was all devoted to his children, as I have heard him say several times that he wuldn't care to die if it wasn't for leaving his children. But that terrible monster death which is the unwelcome visitor in all our homes, but which we know must come to us all sooner or later, took away his life from him, so unexpected while sitting in his chair at his home and as the news came it was a sad and terrible shock to us all. But we have the great hope that our loss is his gain and by the help of God we will meet again some day.
