John Bannister Gibson, LL. D.
"For many years
Chief Justice of Pennsylvania
name of Gibson in Scotland was Gilbertson. The earliest mention of the name in Pennsylvania is in 1730 when Governor Hamilton laid out Lancaster "at the site where George Gibson kept a tavern." This George Gibson was the grandfather of Judge Gibson. It is said that he was six feet, eight inches tall. It was supposed that he was buried at Carlisle. In the erection of this monument it was necessary to have a broad excavation and in making this George Gibson's grave was found. His family consisted of two sons and two daughters. His son George married Anna West, daughter of Francis West, a Colonial Judge and cousin of Benjamin West, the artist. Their son was John Bannister Gibson; his middle name was for a friend of his father's. Judge Gibson's father died in 1797 and left four sons. In poverty, this noble woman reared them herself, teaching them not only the ordinary branches but also the higher ones. A devout Episcopalian, Sabbath rarely found her absent from St. John's at Carlisle, fifteen miles from her home. One Sabbath unexpectedly finding Bishop White of Christ Church visiting in Carlisle, she persuaded him to accompany her home to christen some of her boys. When they reached Sherman's Creek, Perry County, no boys were to be found. Thinking their mother was away for a long time, they had gone hunting. Imagine the return.
To you who think of Judge Gibson as only a lawyer and judge, these items may be interesting. As a musician he was gifted, probably inheriting taste from his grandfather, who, when the fifer was injured in one of the Revolutionary battles, sheathed his sword, picked up the fife, and led his men to victory. Eye witnesses have told of the ease with which Judge
As a Mason he was R. W. Deputy Grand Master of the R. W. Grand Lodge of F. and A. Masons of Pennsylvania, elected St. John's Day, December 27, 1821, and re-elected December 27, 1822. He was elected R. W. Grand Master December 27, 1823; in this office he served one year. He was admitted as a Master Mason in Lodge No. 43, at Lancaster, December 20, 1811, but afterwards withdrew. Subsequently he connected himself with Lodge No. 61, at Wilkes Barre and was Worshipful Master of the Lodge for two successive terms, from December 27, 1814 to December 26, 1816.
An interesting story is told of him as a dentist. When he was seventy years old a friend in Philadelphia asked him where he purchased his beautiful teeth. Their appearance was so natural that they fascinated her. Her chagrin was great when the Judge replied, "You are mistaken, they are my own. I have used them from boyhood." It was true. When his first tooth came loose, Judge Gibson fastened it by wire to its neighbors and continued to do so with loosening teeth until, as the Judge expressed it, he had "nothing to tie to." The dentists in Philadelphia could offer nothing but a false set. Discouraged, but not defeated, he returned to Carlisle, and sought the aid of Dr. George Hendel, who is buried near him. Dr. Hendel was noted for his inventive resources and mechanical skill but could not think of a remedy; however, he offered the use of his tools and Judge Gibson after several experiments made a plate which held his own teeth. These he used until his death. At a meeting of dentists in Philadelphia, Dr. Hendel told of this, then unheard of achievement and Judge Gibson inspired by success often helped the dentist in his office.
[1517] On the stone is also the name of his wife, Sarah Work Galbraith, to whom he was married in 1812
