Civil War (See notes.)1 BIOGRAPHY
Hon. Thomas E. Hibbert, an ex-member of the state legislature of Nebraska, an old soldier of the Civil war, and a pioneer and popular citizen of Gage county, Nebraska, took up his present homestead in Hooker township in 1869, so that the thirty-five years spent here entitle him to be classed as one of the old-timers. Besides being a witness to the phenomenal development and progress which have taken place in Southeastern Nebraska, he has been an active participant in that work and in his individual enterprises and his public career has proved himself a man of ability, worth and high character.
Mr. Hibbert was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1846, of a family known for its honesty, industry and integrity. His father, Edward R. Hibbert, was born in England, and landed at Philadelphia when he was nine months old. He married Mary Graham, a native of Philadelphia and a member of a Scotch family whose early representatives had served under Cromwell. Both parents were Presbyterians in faith. They had four children, Thomas E., Martha, James and Edward, the two latter dying in infancy, and Martha Smith is now a widow living in Philadelphia.
Mr. Hibbert was reared and educated in Pennsylvania and when a boy of fifteen, weighing but one hundred and five pounds, he enlisted from Wayne county, at Salem, in Company A, One Hundred and Thirty-seventh Pennsylvania Infantry, under Captain J. M. Buckingham and Colonel Bossert, in the Third Brigade, Second Division and Sixth Army Corps, or Hancock's Brigade, Baldy Smith's Division, and Franklin's Corps. He was at the battles of Poolsville, Maryland, September 10, 1862, South Mountain, September 14, 1862, Antietam, September 17, 1862. The One Hundred and Thirty-seventh Regiment buried almost two thousand rebels on the Antietam field. He was then transferred to the Third Brigade (Paul's), First Division (Wadworth's), First Corps (Reynolds'), and was at the battle of Fredericksburg, December 13, 1862, on Burnside's mud march and at Chancellorsville, April 28 to May 12, 1863. He was a nine months' regiment, and he was mustered out of service on June 6, 1863, but at once re-enlisted, being assigned to Battery C, Second Pennsylvania Veteran Artillery. He served in the Twenty-second Army Corps in the defenses around Washington until May, 1864, and then went to the front and served in the Eighteenth Army Corps. He was in the Cold Harbor battles in June, 1864, and leaving that place on June 12, took a transport at White House Landing and sailed down the York river to Chesapeake bay, past Fortress Monroe, and thence up the James river City Point, Virginia, and on June 15 was in the movement to Petersburg. His regiment made the first attack on that city, capturing the outside fortifications and he participated in all the engagement of the Eighteenth Army Corps. At the organization of the Twenty-fourth Corps the Second Pennsylvania Artillery was part of the Third Division of that corps under Lee's surrender after which until the muster out it did provost guard duty, being finally relieved by the Twelfth United States Infantry. His services continued until February 6, 1866, and despite his youth he carried the heavy musket of Civil war days and performed the same service in camp and field as was expected of his comrades. He was reported killed at Chapin's Farm, but wrote to his father that he was alive and well. In fact, he was neither dead nor sleeping, but was reported among the dead because a shell from a gunboat exploded so close to him that he was knocked senseless for a few minutes. He was offered a commission in a colored regiment. He was color guard, and on the return of the regiment he carried the state flag home and on July 4, 1866, in person handed the flag to Governor A. G. Curtin, the famous war governor of Pennsylvania. This stand of colors went out in 1861 and came back in 1866, and during that long period rebel hands never touched them. In the general orders he was mentioned for making the three best shots at a target with a 24-pound howitzer, while serving on the defenses at Washington, he being the gunner and having sighted the piece. When the rebels made an attack on Redoubt Carpenter below Dutch Gap, Virginia, on January 25, 1865, his services were loaned to a battery of the Thirteenth New York Artillery, and he was complimented for the assistance rendered by his howitzer in repulsing the enemy.
After his discharge from the service, with such a creditable record, Mr. Hibbert lived in his native state for three years. In 1869, he came to Gage county, Nebraska, and took up one hundred and sixty acres of land, which his subsequent diligence and good management have developed into one of the finest farms in the county. He has a grove and orchard of seven acres, a good house and all improvements necessary to a model farm.
Mr. Hibbert was married in Gage county, March 19, 1874, to Miss Nannie E. Fuller, who has been a companion and sharer of his joys and sorrows for thirty years. She was born in Indiana, February 23, 1856, and came to Nebraska on July 4, 1864. In the autumn of the same year she and her parents and brothers and sisters and the few neighbors in the vicinity were obliged to flee for their lives to escape the dreaded Indians, but the alarm subsided in a few days and they all returned to their homes. She was reared and received her education in Gage county, and she has lived almost all her life upon the same section where her father's homestead was and where she now resides with her husband and family. Her father, John Fuller, a descendant of the John Fuller who came over in the Mayflower, was one of the Nebraska early settlers of 1864 and died here in 1869. He was a native of Massachusetts, and his wife, Nancy Whiteman, was born in Ohio, being of Pennsylvania Dutch descent and one of their sons, George Fuller, was a soldier in the Seventy-third Indiana Infantry. Mr. and Mrs. Hibbert have had the following children: Mary Pearl, born April 11, 1875; Anna Josephine, born December 15, 1876, Charley Edward, born July 21, 1878; Guy, born October 11, 1881; Ila Emma, born March 25, 1884; Roscoe Conklin, born September 18, 1885; Thomas Edwin, born March 28, 1887; Benjamin Harrison, born May 9, 1889; Martha Carrie, born June 24, 1892; James Graham, born March 21, 1894; George Dewey Oscar, born May 26, 1897. Anna Josephine, died April 6, 1877; Charley Edward died January 30, 1880; Mary Pearl, died February 17, 1880.
Mr. Hibbert was one of the most active Republicans in Gage county, has been identified with that party all his life, and has strong convictions of the right and wrong of politics and statecraft. He has been delegate to many state, judicial and county conventions, was elected to the office of constable four times, assessor five times, justice of the peace two times, and is now serving his fourteenth year as school director. He served in the state legislature during the twenty-sixth and the twenty-seventh sessions. He is on the visiting and examining board of the State Soldiers' Home, and was supervisor of the census for 1900 for the fourth congressional district was assistant superintendent of the Nebraska exhibit at the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo, and has held various other places of trust and responsibility. He states high in G.A.R. circles; is a past post commander was delegate to the national encampment at Philadelphia, and was adjutant of Sergeant Cox Post No. 100, department of Nebraska, on the department commander's staff at Cleveland, Ohio, and was on the staff of Commander-in-chief Thomas Seward at San Francisco. He and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal church.
Guy is now a resident of Spearville, Kansas; Ila E. likewise lives at Spearville; Roscoe C. continues his residence in Gage county and lives in the village of Adams; Thomas E. resides at Crab Orchard, Johnson county, and Benjamin H. at Alliance, Box Butte county; Martha C. is the wife of Melvin Liggett, of Alliance, this state; James G. is perpetuating the patriotic spirit of his honored father, as he has become a member of the great national army that is being prepared for participation in the European war, he being, in the spring of 1918, a member of Company A, Three Hundred and Fifty-fifth Regiment, stationed at Camp Funston, Kansas; George D. remains with his widowed mother on the old home farm.
