Sarah Jane Jones Gibson 

In Lafayette, Ca, November 1, 1938 

Mrs. Sarah Jane Jones Gibson succombs to heart attack late Tuesday.

A Pioneer resident of California and active member of the Lafayette  community since March of 1936, Mrs. Sarah J. Gibson, 64, passed away Tuesday afternoon as a result of a heart attack.

Active in womans circles both here and in Oakland, her death came as a shock to this community where she and her husband have made their home for the past two and a half years.   Though she had not been in perfect health for some time, the seriousness of her aliment had not been generally recognized.

Mrs. Gibson was a native of Washington, being born near the city of Walla Walla, Washington, in 1874.  In 1889, at the age of 15, she moved to Monterey county, later marrying Mr. James Monroe Gibson.   The couple moved to Lafayette from Thorton, in the San Joaquin valley, to establish their home and business here.

In her passing she leaves, in addition to her husband, her mother and a brother, Mrs. Alice Jones and Mr. R. L. Jones, both of Pacific Grove; and four children, True Don Gibson (Don Gibson), Mrs. Beatrice Norton and Mrs. Rose Ransom, all of Oakland, and Mrs. Birdie Pierce of Guinda, Yolo County.  Science funeral services were held yesterday, Thursday, at the Chapel of Memories, Oakland Columbarium, in a public service at 2 O'clock.

That's all I got.  Don't know what paper.   Lafayette and all other cities with state not mentioned, are from CA.

thanks
