From the Arizona Republic (Phoenix, Arizona) 28 Jun 1928, Thursday, Page 15 --
Ira Gibson, Wallace Gibson, Bruce Gibson and their father, C. L. Gibson, arrived here Friday with 14 trucks, their families and household goods, and will locate here permanently in the trucking business. For several years they have been engaged in hauling gas pipe in Dallas, Tex., and they began work here this week in trucking logs from the timber, four miles south of town, to the lumber mills. Their families have rented houses here.
Bruce Gibson (1902-1994) was my maternal grandfather, and his father Charles Lewis Gibson (1858-1938) was my g-grandfather, of course. This article pinpoints the year and date they migrated to Arizona.
If the genealogist is committed to spending hours researching, Newspapers.Com is a worthwhile site. Yes, it has a search engine, but it is not sophisticated. The responsible researcher uses it as a tool, but does his/her own research.
