NOTES:
Obituary appearing in the Nicholas County Chronicle, March 1889: "David C. R. VanBibber was born in Nicholas County which was then Kanahwa County, November 16, 1799. He died March 1, 1889, aged 89 years, 3 months and 15 days. In his death, Nicholas County has lost a man and citizen of sterling worth. Mr. VanBibber was an intelligent gentleman, pleasant and agreeable in his manner, a true friend, good neighbor, a kind father, and while he was not a member of any church, we have reason to believe that he was a Christian."

"His mind well stored with useful information, acquired in a long lifetime of association with his fellow men, and from reading, was vigorous to the last. One of the oldest citizens of this section, it was a treat to listen to his narration of incidents in the early years, but he is gone and thus link by link is broken the chain that connects the past to the present."

"He leaves seven sons, two daughters . . . who lives in Nebraska . . and one who lives in Iowa. While he had been in declining health for several years, his last sickness was of only nine days duration and he passed away "like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams.""

"We all shall miss him as a neighbor, friend, citizen, father; but we have the hope that our loss is his gain."

From an obituary appearing in the Nicholas County Chronicle:

Noah VanBibber was born in Nicholas County on the Camp Fork off Peter's Creek on June 26, 1844, and departed this life April 19, 1899 at the age of 54 years, 9 months and 23 days. He spent his youthful days, early manhood and the prime of his life in Nicholas County during which he secured for himself a host of friends, who learned to love him because of the kind and general manner of his loving, sympathizing, sacrificing spirit. At the age of 22 years he had the responsibility of providing for and taking care of his mother and father. In the year 1872, death called his mother to leave these transient scenes to join the blessed in the pure heaven of rest, leaving him and his father alone; but boldly and patiently he bore the task of caring for him. He ministered to the wants of his father from the death of his mother up to 1887 when his brother, Nathan, relieved him of his burden. In the year 1891 he purchased a farm in Oklahoma territory ar which place he resided up to the time of his death. Notwithstanding the kind of care of Mr. Hickman and family with whom he was staying at the time, . . . the death messenger called upon him . . .
