George (Jibbs, the son of (.'ol. (ieor;L;o (iibbs, 

 was born on the 17th of Jiih , 1815, at Sunswick, 

 Limjf Island, near the xillage of Halletts (Jove, 

 now known as Astoria. At seventeen h(^ was 

 taken to Europe, where he remained t wo years. 

 On bis return from Europe he eommeneiMl the 

 reading of law, and in 18:!8 took his degree 

 of bachelor of law at Harvard University. In 

 1848 Mr. (ribbs went overland from St. Louis to 

 Oregon and establishtMl himself at ('olumbia. 

 In 1854 lie received the apiiointinent of collector 

 of the port of Astoria, which he held during ^Ir. 

 Fillmore's administration. Later he I'emoved 

 fnmi Oregon to Washington Territory, and set- 

 tled upon a ranch a few miles from Fort Steila- 

 coom. Here he bad his headiiuarters for several 

 years, devoting himself to the study of the In- 

 dian languages and to the collei-tionof vocabu- 

 laries and traditions of the northwestoni tribes. 

 During a great part of the time he was attached 

 to the United States Government Commission 

 in laying the boundary, as the geologist and l)ot- 

 anist of the expedition. He was also attached 

 as geologist to the survey of a railroad route to 

 the Pacific, under Major Stevens. In 1857 he 

 was appointed to the northwest Itoundary sur- 

 vey under Mr. Archibald Caini)bell. as commis- 

 sioner. In 1860 Mr. Gibbs returned to Xew 

 York, and in 1861 was on duty in Washington 

 in guarding the Capitol. Later be resided in 

 Washiugtcm, 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 philology of the 

 American Indians. His services were avaib'd 

 of by the Smithsonian Institution to superin- 

 tend its labors in this tield, and to bis energy and 

 conf[)lete knowledge of the subject it greatly 

 owes it.s success in this branch of the service. 

 The valuable and laborious .service which he 

 rendered to the Institution was entirely gratu- 

 itous, and in his death that establishment as 

 well as the cau.se of science lost an anient friend 

 and important contributor to its advancement. 

 In 1871 Mr. Gibbs luarried his cousin. Miss 

 Mary K. Gibbs, of I^^ewport, R. I., and removed 

 to New Haven, where he died on the 9th of 

 April, 1873. '
