residence in this city Saturday, August 23, 1890 in his 56th year.
Mr. Tibbitts was born in Frankfort, Herkimer Co., NY March 16, 1834.
In 1836 his parents removed to Ionia, Michigan where he lived until 1854,
when he came to Albany where he has since resided. On the first call
for volunteers in 1861 he entered the band of the Third Wisconsin Infantry
and when the regimental bands were all dismissed the following year, he
re-enlisted in the Fifth Wisconsin Infantry and remained until the close
of the war. He was married to Maria Pond Warren in 1856, who, with
one daughter, survives him. He was the second son in a family of
five brothers and four sisters, and with the exception of his oldest brother,
all his father’s family are living. He has been an active member
of the G.A.R. Post, Odd Fellow and Masonic societies, a member of the choir
for 35 years, and has always taken a lively interest in all matters of
a public nature. The funeral was held at the Baptist church, under
the auspices of the I.O.O.F. and G.A.R., on Monday, August 25. At
1:00 pm the remains, escorted by the Cornet Band and the two societies,
were taken to the church and lay in state until 2:00 pm. The casket
was then closed, the band and lodges returning to the house for the relatives.
The sermon was preached by Rev.. R.N. Martin, who made able and appropriate
remarks. The choir rendered some excellent music, the closing piece,
“Oh Father, hear us sing: ‘Just as I am, without one plea’” being one of
the deceased’s own selection when singing the last time with the choir.
In the death of Mr. Tibbitts the community loses and honorable citizen,
and the bereaved wife mourns the loss of a loving and devoted husband.
The sympathy of all is extended to the afflicted ones in this sad hour.
