The name "Giblett" has been long and well associated with the settlers and residents in and around the Manjimup district, and it is with no ordinary regret that we view the passing of one of their number.
Mr. Jesse Giblett, who had been in an unsettled state of health for nearly three years, quietly succumbed on April 26 at the age of 76. It was in 1862 that he came to Balbarrup with his parents, bringing their cattle with them from the Serpentine, and for the most part, his secular interests were dealing in stock.
He was the father of nine children (including one adopted son) who are scattered in various parts of the Commonwealth, a brother of a devoted family and honoured pioneer citizen, and the friend of all that knew him. The degree of esteem in which he was held was evidenced in the large attendance at his funeral, some coming far from the surround-ing districts to the Balbarrup cem-etery to pay their last respects to the passing of this honored and old identity.—" Blackwood Times."[3]
