GALLATIN BESS
Bess Gallatin Gibson Victim of Elmira Blaze
Troy was stunned this Thursday morning by the shocking news that Mrs.
Bess Gallatin Gibson, daughter of A. S. Gallatin and a former Troy girl,
had been found dead in the bedroom of her apartment at 529 1-2 West Water
Street, Elmira, apparently the victim of a fire in the bathroom.
The body was discovered at 8 p. m. Wednesday and the first news of the
tragedy was received by Mr. Gallatin through the Elmira Advertiser of this
Thursday morning. According to the Coroner S. Tracey Hamilton, Mrs.
Gibson received fatal third degree and general burns about the lower part
of the body. It is the supposition that she was burned in the bathroom,
rushed out and collapsed in the bedroom. She was found by Barrett
E. Bacorn, owner of the building. Fixtures in the bathroom were scorched
but the walls did not ignite and the occupants of the apartment above were
not aware of the tragedy until the body was discovered. Circumstances
surrounding the death of Mrs. Gibson have brought on an intensive police
investigation. Mrs. Gibson came to Troy in her yon girlhood, the
family living in the house now occupied by the Schwab family, later in
what is now the Cottage Inn. She resided in Elmira following her
marriage to Mr. Gibson. She is survived by her husband, Malcolm D.
Gibson, formerly prominent in theater management in Elmira., a son, Malcolm
D. Gibson, Jr., Elmira, her father A. S. Gallatin , in Troy, a sister Frances
Knapp, Riverdale, Md., and a brother, Jack Gallatin, Salem, Ohio.
