He resigned from the Ohio State Treasurer\'s office in disgrace and redeemed his reputation in war. He was brevetted Brigadier General of the Union Army\'s 49th Ohio Volunteer Infantry during the American Civil War.William Harvey Gibson is best remembered for his eloquent oratory during at a difficult period in U.S. history. Abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe said that she had \"listened to many of the most gifted orators of Europe and America, but have never listened to such eloquence as poured forth for two hours and half as from the lips of William H. Gibson, of Ohio.\" At Gibson\'s funeral in 1894, William McKinley, who at the time was Governor of Ohio (1892–1896, and later U.S. President, 1897–1901) made the eulogy. McKinley also noted Gibson\'s gift for oratory saying that, \"For fifty years, Gibson has been the most attractive and sought after of public speakers. On the lecture platform, at hundreds of Grand Army camp-fires, and in the pulpit, wherever duty called him, General Gibson made fitting responses. ... I am here, to pay tribute to the man I loved so much. The last time I heard him was at Old Fort, the Sunday before Memorial day. He was never more eloquent. General Gibson believed the two most important things in life were piety and patriotism. In his creed they were linked in indissoluble union. His piety was broad enough to include every creed and his patriotism wide enough to cover the whole country.\" He was interred in Greenlawn Cemetery.On May 25, 1847, Gibson was married in the Presbyterian Church to Martha Matilda Creeger of Tiffin, who was born in Maryland.Tiffin is a city in and the county seat of Seneca County, Ohio.
