HISTORY OF NORTH IDAHO:
FRANK M. TIBBALS is one of the old timers of the Coeur d'Alene country, and has been interested nn the mines of that section from the first discoveries 'til the present. He was born in Michigan on June 20, 1856, the son of Benoni O. and Harriet A. (Godfrey) Tibbals, natives of New York. The parents came to Michigan in 1833, traveling in ox carts. The
grandfather served in the war of 1812, and the Tibbals family were among the first settlers on the continent in colonial days. They were always prominent in the American cause, and many noted members are now in the leading professions, and in commercial pursuits in the New England states.
The father died in 1872, but the mother lives in Detroit. Our subject remained in Michigan until nineteen, having received a good education. He expected to enter Ann Arbor,
but owing to his father's death he was obliged to remain at home. He was on the farm, in a dry goods store, and in 1876 went to Cheyenne and clerked, until he joined a party of one hundred men to go to Deadwood. He was variously employed in the Black Hills for four years. Then he went to Gunnison, Colorado, New Mexico, and in March, 1884, he came over the
Trout trail to Eagle City. He did a saloon business for a time and later he went to Wardner and located the Keystone and King group. Although they shipped eighty thousand dollars worth of ore the vein broke, and the sheriff finally sold the property for fifteen hundred dollars. In 1888 Mr. Tibbals was elected auditor and recorder of Shoshone county on the Democratic ticket, and in 1893 declined to run again. He was offered the nomination of secretary of state, but declined. However, they put up his name. In 1897 'Mr. Tibbals sold his saloon interests in Wallace and prospected in Revelstoke, British Columbia. He had some claims located there then. In the fall of 1897 he opened his present place of business at 117 Howard street, Spokane, and his resort is the headquarters for all Coeur d'Alene miners.
