Gibbs, Warren Rockwood
Warren Rockwood Gibbs (June 17, 1878 - May 3, 1941) was an American manufacturer and farmer. Born in Burlington, Vermont, Gibbs attended Cornell University and graduated in 1900. He served with the Supply Company of the 301st Field Artillery during World War I. After the war, Gibbs returned to Richmond, Massachusetts, where he and his wife rand Rock Ridge Farm for an unknown number of years moving to California, where he died at Berkeley. He married his wife Rebecca McClure Whitehead on October 18, 1906 in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, whom he may have divorced, as it appears he was married to Irene Gibbs in 1940, and Rebecca's death is recorded as June 13, 1947 in Richmond, Massachusetts.

This rare 1933 Lewis Rothe and Warren Gibbs pictorial map of Europe playfully commemorates the peregrinations of the 301st Field Artillery during World War I (1914 - 1918). The map traces the 301st's movements from Boston through Nova Scotia and England to France, then back across the Atlantic to New York City after the war ended. Lewis Rothe drew the map in collaboration with Warren R. Gibbs, a veteran of the 301st. A series of 'close-ups' in the lower left offers interesting personal insights into the unit: Lieutenant Dowd's luck at gambling and Colonel Brooke's habit of buying souvenirs. (more details)
