Parents: Robert Dixon Gibson & Lydia Marshall
From "The History Of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley, Ohio, Volume 2" (1921):
MRS. NANCY HINE In her ninety-third year Mrs. Hine retained her physical and mental facuity to a marked degree, and by her own life and experience is one of the most interesting links between the bustling modern present and the pioneer history of the Mahoning Valley. Mrs. Hine belonged two of the oldest and most historic families of Mahoning County. Her own people were the Gibsons, while she was widow of the late Abraham Skinner Hine, a family whose membership has included some of the best people in Eastern Ohio, not only in recent times but in the pioneer epoch.
Mrs. Hine was born May 21, 1827, a daughter of Robert and Lydia (Marshall) Gibson.
Mrs. Nancy Hine, though the interests of her mind had touched many subjects and remote places and peoples, has had her personal associations with only two or three homes. At the age of thirteen she moved from a log to a stone house on her father's place. That stone house is still standing and on the ground incorporated in the new park at Youngstown. When she was married more than seventy years ago she came to the farm three miles from the courthouse on the Youngstown-Poland Road, and began housekeeping in a home that had been started by a Mr. Stahl, but was still in an unfinished condition when Mr. and Mrs. Hine went there to live. Most of the timbers of that old home are still retained in the remodeled dwelling, which was thoroughly modernized in 1914. The first year Mrs. Hine cooked the meals at a fireplace. The land of this farm, containing originally 121 acres, had been bought by Homer Hine in 1836. Except about twenty acres immediately surrounding the home all the farm has since been sold to a Realty Company and has been divided and is now rapidly being dotted with homes.
Mrs. Hine and her six daughters all taught school. Mrs. Hine was eligible for membership in the Daughters of the American Revolution. Her daughters are doubly eligible, being qualified on both the maternal and paternal side.
At the venerable age of ninety-three, came the closing of the good, gentle and noble life. Retaining her vigor, activity and her keen interest in current affairs, her clear strong intellect to the last. Monday before the passing she told her family that it was the first day she was unable to read her New York Times. She left many friends to mourn her death (findagrave.com)
