Bibb of Louisa, Va., was at the time of his death, December 10, 1910, the Assistant Attorney-General of the State. He filled the position with dignity and ability, having brought to it a well trained mind and a knowledge of the Law which, so far as its principles are concerned, is often found best exemplified in the County Court lawyer. From his birth Mr. Bibb was a resident of Piedmont Virginia, having been born sixty-two years ago in Albermarle County, which has given so many illustrious men to the State. He belonged to that sturdy race which has made the State's name respected over the whole country. He early imbibed the principles of which Jefferson was the embodiment, and which gave him the hold which he had upon those with whom he associated. Educated at the University of Virginia, he came to Louisa County and began his professional work. He had as a youth seen a year's service in the "Reserves" organized by Col. R. T. W. Duke of Albemarle, and always took the deepest interest in the history and welfare of the Confederate Soldier. His success in his profession was assured by his industry and patience in whatever he undertook, and his promptness in disposing of matters entrusted to him. He served his County as Commonwealth's Attorney for years and was known as a useful and efficient officer. He had also served in the Senate from the District composed of Louisa, Spottsylvania and Stafford Counties, and took a high position as a member of the upper branch of the General Assembly. Returning to his profession, in which he had achieved success, he was offered by Attorney General Williams the position of Assistant Attorney-General of the State, which position he filled acceptably to the State and his superior officer. He did his work well, and his opinions in many of the important legal matters that came before him were regarded very highly by the Courts and by those public officials who depend on the Attorney-General's office for advice. He was a member of the Episcopal Church, and was a Mason and an Odd Fellow. His domestic life was very happy. His widow, who was Miss Kate Cammack, daughter of the late John Cammack, and four children survive him. His son, W. C. Bibb, is a member of this Association and Commonwealth's Attorney of Louisa. A fall which he received coming down the stairs of his home in Richmond produced the injuries of which he died. In his death this Association has lost a useful member, the Bar an able lawyer, and the State a faithful public servant. ROSEWELL PAGE. |
