KIBLIN SHORE - Mrs. Blanche C. Kiblin, 84, widow of Fred L. Kiblin, died April 5, 1963 at Crouse-Irving hospital, Syracuse. She had been in failing health several months and was a hospital patient six days, undergoing surgery.
Mr. Kiblin died in 1948. They were both well known, not only to local people but also to the many vacationers at Sandy Pond. Mr. Kiblin operated a boat livery and he and Mrs. Kiblin entertained summer boarders in their home. Shore-front lots on the Kiblin property soon became sought after, the first cottage being buit in 1908. Today there are some 25 cottages on this property.

Both came from families who had lived at Sandy Pond since the early settlement of the Town of Sandy Creek. Mrs. Kiblin was a daughter of Nathan and Jane Howard Coon and was born Aug. 11, 1878. Her grandfather was Peter Coon, one of the Sandy Pond area's first settlers, his farm having been located north of the Corners.
She was married Jan. 1, 1898 to Fred. L. Kiblin, son of John and Ursula Baldwin Kiblin.
