A quick look at Chronicling America brings up this item:

"Miss Francis Gibboney of Wytheville, is visiting her aunt Mrs, Kate C, Peery, two miles east of town."
Tazewell Republican, August 17, 1905
https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn95079154/1905-08-17/ed-1/seq-4  (2nd column, near the middle)

Various other mentions of her visiting her aunt at different times and other social events. Try searching under "Francis Gibboney" and "Fanny Gibboney".

Obituary for her mother in 1897 mentions her as "Miss Fanny"
