Notes for John Binks Kibler:
John B. Kuebler-Kibler, farmer, was born in Oberderdingen,Wurttenberg, Germany, in 1817, and is a son of Johann Sebastian Kuebler and Elizabeth Catherine(Miller- Muller)The father was a baker, and died when our subject was but six years old. The mother
afterward married, and coming to the United States, settled in Cincinnati, Ohio. John, who was the youngest of three children, attended school until fourteen years of age, and then spent three years' apprenticeship with a lock and gunsmith. He worked at that trade until 1839, when he came to the United States, landing at Baltimore. He then went to Philadelphia, where he soon after enlisted as a recruit, and served five years in the Sixth Infantry, in Florida, in the Seminole War. He was discharged as a member of Company E, in 1844, at Fort Gibson, Ind. T., and enlisted again for five years, at the close of which time, being discharged, he came to Van Buren, Ark.
In 1845 he married Melinda Burk, who was born in Germany, and who was brought to the United States when two years old by her parents. She died in 1870, leaving a family of four children, three of whom are living. In 1872 Mr. Kibler married Mrs. Diana Bingham, nee Shaber, who died in 1880. His third marriage occurred in 1882(1883), when he wedded Nellie Atkins, a native of Illinois, whose parents now reside in Joplin, Mo. In 1847 Mr. Kibler settled upon his present farm, which was then in the wilderness, with but two houses between it and Van Buren, a distance of seven miles. Mr. Kibler is the owner of a nice farm, which at one time contained 160 acres. During the latter part of the Rebellion he served nearly two years in Company I, First Arkansas Infantry, United States Army, operating in Arkansas. He and twenty-seven others were once attacked by about 2,000 Confederates, and after fighting bravely three hours they were captured, two men having been killed [p.1161] and two wounded. The enemy paroled them before daybreak for fear of being attacked by Unionists, but three men were missing and never heard from. The remainder rejoined their command at Fort Smith, and the rebels fled to Missouri. Mr. Kibler cast his first presidential vote for Polk. He is a member of the Lutheran Church, and one of the respected citizens of the township. Source: Crawford County, AR Biography on line.
