Buffalo, -N. T., March 2S, 1914. 

 With deepest sorrow we learn of Mr. Gibson's death. Please accept 

 our heartfelt sympathy. The Buffalo lumbermen have always recog- 

 nized in Mr. Gibson a true friend and one who devoted much time to 

 the upbuilding of the hardwood industry in this country.

Cincinnati, O., March 27, 1914. 

 The death of Mr. Gibson removed a remarkable figure from the hard- 

 wood industry, as well as leaving an aching void in the hearts of a legion 

 of friends. His brilliant mind has left a lasting impression in the fields 

 of his activities, while his charming personality made him always a 

 welcome visitor and a delightful companion. Having been so richly 

 endowed makes the loss keener. 



I take this opportunity of conveying to Hardwood Record, on behalf 

 of the association and its officers, sincere condolence to the memory of 

 him whom we always found a friend. We are also not unmindful of the 

 crushed heart at home, and to her also we give our sympathy. 

 Very truly yours,

 The hardwood interests have lost an able and valuable friend, for

 wife and friends our heartfelt sympathy, believe us

 1 )oar Mrs. Gibson : 



I write to extend to you my deepest and most sincere sympathy for the 

 loss of your husband, Henry. It is needless to say to you that he was 

 one of my chummiest kind of friends in the lumber fraternity, and was 

 one that was always eulogizing his family, their usefulness and good at- 

 tention to him. 



I feel that I have lost personally one nl' the liost friends I liavo made 

 since in the lumber business. His social intorost always carried with it 

 something of elevating interest as well as tin good that had a. text for 

 future success. 



My brothers, too, join me in extending to vnii our heartfelt sympathy. 

 Very sincerely,

 My Dear Mrs. Gibson : 



How little words express when the heart strings are torn and thr- 

 mind is dazed, by the taking off of one who was so dear to us as Henry. 

 I cannot realize that I shall never see him again. His coming to mo 

 as he did so often to confer and advise, always cheerful and bright, that 

 it was a great pleasure to lay aside my work and listen to his pleasant 

 voice, and absorb the good things he always had to offer. 



Henry was the only one of my friends whoso call has loft some food 

 for thought, on saying good-bye. 



May God give you strength to boar this groat afHiction. is the prayer 

 of your sincere friend, 



Harvey S. II.wden.

 In the death of Mr. Gibson the writer fools a personal loss, as he 

 irizcd his friendship highly. The lumber trade generally will miss Mr. 

 iibson very much indeed, as ho alwaj's was working hard for its interests.
