WIRE FENCE OF SPITE FEUD OF THE GIBBS FAMILY
A Hopkinton Massachusetts special describes the Gibbs Wheeler feud in Woodville over a split house and barn. John Gibbs 78 resists Wheelers using half the barn while living on one side of a divided homestead. A wire fence blocks access and tensions rise as families take sides, with Jackson Gibbs and Miss Gibbs defending their rights amid legal and property disputes. The case illustrates long standing local rivalries within a New England community.
