I cannot provide you with an obituary, but will information from his death certificate help? His death certificate has James Chrisopher Gibsona and Emily
Walker as his parents. His full name is Johnnie
Holbert Gipson. He was born 11 June 1874 and he died 17 May 1941. He is buried in Turkey,
Hall County,
Texas.
I did find an obituary for his son, Harold Norman
Gipson. A picture is included in the obituary. Here is the URL:

From one of your queries I know you are familiar with the Hill family. On Mattie Gipson's death certificate it has her father as Albert
Malone Hill and her mother as Emma
Barbour. I noticed in one of your queries that you had Andrew
Malone Hill.
Other children of John
Holbert Gipson and Mattie Hill were Evelin Lewise
Gipson who as born 1 Sept 1918 in Estelline and died 9 December 1918 in Estelline,
Hall County.
Mary Emily
Gipson Hall, born 2 Sepember 1869 in
Tennessee and died 19 Jan 1923 in Spur,
Dickens,
Texas.
I also found the James C
Gibson family on the 1880 census of
Young County,
Texas.
Mrs Lorene
Parker signed the death certificate of Mattie
Gipson.
Emily Lorene
Gipson married Earl Clifford
Parker. They had Emily
Earlene, Ronald Lee, and Myra Evelyn.
I'm sure you have a lot of information.
