We have to record of the death of Mrs John Gibson, Known as the Tarbolton centenarian, who was born at Lochmark, Parish of Stair on 15th December, 1795. Until quite recently she enjoyed comparatively sound health, though slightly deaf and feeble, Mrs. Gibson was the wonder of the district, and like most centenarians had a retentive memory. She had the distinct recollection of leaving her birthplace when she was only four years of age, and of being conveyed to Glasgow by a carrier named David Allison. She stayed in the city with an uncle until she was ten years of age.The bustle of Glasgow had no attraction for little Jeannie Shaw, and she left for home, a distance of 35 miles. By this time, her parents had removed to Bridgend, in the parish of Coylton. For two years she stayed at this latter place, and then entered domestic service, in which she remained until her 24th year, when she was married at the farm of an uncle (Laigh Dalmore) to Mr John Gibson, coming thereafter to Blacklochans
