Herbert C. Hibbing, the son of Emil and Martha (Ahlers) Hibbing was born August 20, 1929 in Colgate, North Dakota. He received his education in Colgate until the 2nd grade before he moved with his mother to Germany for a year. They returned to the United States and to Paullina in 1938, where the family settled on a farm west of Paullina. He furthered his education in Paullina and attended Paullina High School.
