George (libbs, the son of Col. George Gibbs, 

 was born on the 17th of Jidy, 1815, at Suuswick, 

 Long Island, near the village of Halletts Cove, 

 now known as Astoria. At se%'enteeu he was 

 taken to Europe, wheie ho remained two years. 

 On his return from Europe he couinienced the 

 reading of law, and in 1838 took his degree 

 of bachelor of law at Harvard University. In 

 1848 Mr. Gibbs weut overland from St. Louis to 

 Oregon and established himself at Columbia. 

 In 1854 he received the appointment of collector 

 of the port of Astoria, which he held during Mr. 

 Fillmore's administration. Later he removed 

 from Oregon to Washington Territory, and set- 

 tled upon a ranch a few miles from Fort Steila- 

 coom. Here he had his headquarters for sevei'al 

 years, devoting himself to the study of the In- 

 dian languages and to the collection of vocabu- 

 laries and traditions of the northwestern tribes. 

 During a gi-eat part of the time he was attached 

 to the United States Government Comnussion 

 inlaying the boundary, as the geologist and bot- 

 anist of the expedition. He was also attached 

 as geologist to the survey of a railroad louto to 

 the Pacific, under Major Stevens. In 1857 he 

 was appointed to the northwest boundary sur- 

 vey under Mr. Archibald Campbell, as commis- 

 sioner. In 1860 Mr. Gibbs returned to New- 

 York, and in 1861 was on duty in Washington 

 in guarding the Capitol. Later lie resided in 

 Wasiiington, being mainly employed in the 

 Hudson Bay Claims Commission, to which he 

 was secretary. He was also engaged in the 

 arrangement of a large mass of manuscript 

 bearing upon the ethnology and i)hilology of the 

 American Indians. His services were availed 

 of by the Smithsonian Institution to superin- 

 tend its labors in this field, and to his energy and 

 complete knowledge of tlie subject it greatlv 

 owes its success in this branch of the service. 

 Tlie valuable and laborious service which he 

 rendered to the Institution was entirely gratu- 

 itous, and in his death that establishment as 

 well as the cause of science lost an ardent friend 

 and important contributor to its advancement. 

 In 1871 Mr. Gibbs married his cousin. Miss 

 Mary K. Gibbs, of Newport, R. I., and removed 

 to New Haven, where he died »u the 9th of 

 April, 1873.
