Capt. Chas. Gibbens, of Nickerson, who was a
lieutenant of Co. E, 21st Kansas at Chickamuaga, and who helped organize the
machine gun company in Hutchinson in 1916 and went with it to the Mexican
border, only to be discharged for disability, was thus deprived of getting
into the World War, but he led in the war activities at Nickerson, and gave
his son and adopted son both to the machine gun company, his son later
becoming a lieutenant in the regulars and is now in China, and the adopted
son being killed in action in the Argonne, with the machine gun company.
