Ol' Man PLUNKETT &Martha GREGG GIBSONI have an interesting story told to me by my Great Uncle, Richard GIBBYGIBSON recently. He is 91 and often tells stories that were told to him by hisfather, John GIBSON.My Great Great Grandmother, Martha GREGG GIBSON died on October 03, 1885,in Rouseville on Gibson Farm in Venango Co. When she died the coroner cameto the house. He could not tell if she was a man or a woman (in her photo, Ican say, that she was not very attractive)! Ol' Man PLUNKETT was at the GIBSON house when the coroner came. Thecoroner asked him, "Is this an old man or an old woman?" Ol' Man PLUNKETTreplied, "Neither, she's an Old LADY!"Since that time the family has always referred to woman as ladies!PAMP.S. It would be interesting if anyone is researching the PLUNKETT name (Iam not sure of the spelling)
