Notes |
Benjamin Tibbitts was born in Maine, and was reared to agricultural pursuits. With his wife (Sarah Clark Tibbitts) and nine children he emigrated to Sheboygan County, Wis., in 1846, most of the distance being made by the water route. He purchased in this county eighty acres of partly improved land, which had a small log and frame house upon it. The surrounding country was a perfect wilderness. The first mill-dam in Hingham was erected by Mr. Tibbitts for old Mr. Giddings, now of Fond du Lac, Wis., . Sheboygan was a small village, and Pennsylvania Avenue was the principal thoroughfare. Indians were very plentiful, and deer abounded in the neighborhood. In his political views, he was an old-line Whig, and later became a Republican. He was a friend to the public schools, and assisted in organizing the first one established in Hingham, which was then without a sign of habitation. He was always a friend to the poor and needy, and was upright and honorable in all the walks of life. His wife was also born in the Pine Tree State, and on the 12th of June, 1873, their golden wedding was celebrated, all of the children and most of their grandchildren being present. They are sleeping their last sleep side by side in the Hingham Cemetery, which is located on our subject's farm.
