General Notes:
Gibbs Tilton was very fond of fishing, his favorite place was the deep hole near the North East end of the Horse - Back. The boys envied Uncle Gibbs his skill, for he always had a good catch. Some of the boys - and I think Editor Dingley was one of them - that used to say that his luck was caused by spitting of Tobacco Juice on the Bait. As a Fisherman, he was followed by "Didymus" Thompson, who had great luck In catching Pickerel.
Noted events in his life were:
• Residence: Chilmark , M/Vineyard Island, Mass.
