Comments
This is a copy of the will of William Gibson pledging significant assets to a number of Presbyterian denominational agencies, but none as large as the amount specified for Cedarville College. Upon his death in 1891, the $25,000 bequest was now available to the Trustees of Cedarville College. In today’s dollars, this bequest represents over $750,000.
