Synopsis:
Obituary. Blair Enterprise,
1 Apr 1948. (Donald LIPPINCOTT's father). Pioneer
Settler, 87, Succombs [sic] Long Illness. E.C. LIPPINCOTT
Died On March 28th On Farm Where He Was Born. Funeral rites were held
last Tuesday from the Bendorf Funeral Home for Ephiram [sic] C.
LIPPINCOTT, pioneer and native of this county. Ephriam [sic]
Coles LIPPINCOTT was the youngest and last surviving of the eight
children of Mr. and Mrs. J.C. LIPPINCOTT, pioneer residents of
Washington County. Only a few people have lived to witness the
progress of the "Great West" from virgin prairie to innumerable farms, rich
and productive, which forms the background for hundreds of thriving cities.
E.C. LIPPINCOTT was one of these few. At the time of his death
he had lived in Washington County longer than any other person, having lived
his entire life of 87 years on the farm where he was born. He was a
direct descendant of Richard and Abigail LIPPINCOTT who came to
America from England in 1629. They settled in New Jersey and reared a
large family and at their death were among the largest landholders in New
Jersey. An inherent love of the soil kept many of their descendants on
the land and sent them to open up new frontiers. In 1857, Joshua C.
LIPPINCOTT (Go to Tombstones) brought his family to Nebraska territory from Indiana.
The trip was made by boat as far as St. Joseph, Missouri and then the rest
of the trip was made overland with ox team until the family reaching Cumming
City, Nebraska, on the 7th day of April, 1857. Between the years of
1857-59, owing to a general depression, a panic started. The spirit of
speculation which had been running wild, died out, and nearly all who had
come to the country to make a "stake" left. Only those remained who
were determined to make homes for themselves. During this period, J.C.
LIPPINCOTT bought 160 acres of land north of Cuming City and built a
house of logs and cottonwood lumber. It was in this house that E.C.
LIPPINCOTT was born December 23, 1860, and on this farm that he died
March 28, 1948 at the age of 87 years, 3 months and 5 days. At the age
of twelve, he became a member of the Church of God. As he grew to
manhood, his sisters and brothers married and left home but he remained on
the farm. He was married to Miss Alma WARRICK and one son,
Hugh, was born to them. His wife died while young and Hugh died at the
age of 21 years. He was remarried to Miss Anna JOHNS and a son, Glen,
was born who died when about a year old and the baby's mother died soon
afterwards. In 1899, he was married to Miss Emma SCHMIDT, of
Blair, and five children were born to them, all of whom, with the wife,
survive him. They are Viva (Mrs. H. Lyle GUYER), Miss Ruth
LIPPINCOTT, E. Clark LIPPINCOTT, Richard J. LIPPINCOTT and
Donald T. LIPPINCOTT, all of Blair. He is also survived by 14
grandchildren, 1 great grandchild and many nieces and nephews. E.C.
LIPPINCOTT will always be remembered as a kind and generous father, a
helpful neighbor, a community leader, and a resourceful and progressive
citizen.
