“Find a Woodsmen of the World grave.” (This won't be *too* long of a post because I've written in depth about Uncle Fagan before.)
This is James Fagan Gibson and he is my 3x Great Granduncle. His sister, Vandalia (Gibson) Nally was my 3x Great Grandmother.
Uncle Fagan is buried in the Gibson Cemetery in Corydon and yep, his stone is in need of some TLC.
The son of John Gregory Gibson and Mahala Caroline Busby, he was born on November 14th, 1848 in the Corydon area.
Fagan married his 2nd cousin 1x removed, Nancy Jane “Nannie” Gibson on April 20th, 1872 in Gallatin Co, IL.
He and his wife didn’t have children but they helped care for a few of his nieces— Mary (daughter of his brother Robert) and Minnie (daughter of his sister Lucilla.)
He ran the county sanitarium in Corydon for a while. I also learned his Dad, John, had run the sanitarium and even died there when I found Fagan’s obituary.
Fagan died on May 11th, 1911 at the age of 62.
RIP Uncle Fagan. 🙏
