- Longevity of Phipps Family of Grayson Seen As Remarkable
Independence, June 29 (Special). - There is a Phipps family living in Grayson county who are noted for longevity. The surviving members are: Marion Phipps, 88, who lives at Bridle Creek; Mrs. Sallie Reed, 86, who now lives at Buffalo, W.Va.; Creed Phipps, 84, of Bridle Creek; H.L. Phipps, 82, of Bridle Creek and Mrs. Polly DeBoard, 79, of Flatridge.
Their grandfather, Isaiah Phipps, with his brother Bennie Phipps, came to his county from Guilford county, N.C., just after the Revolution. Isaiah Phipps settled where the grandson, H.L. Phipps, now lives. Bennie Phipps settled nearby. These two pioneers left hundreds of descendants in this county and they are among the best citizens. The descendants of the two brothers divided politically, the family discussed in this article being Republicans in politics.
Was Confederate Veteran.
Marion Phipps served in the Confederate army and he and his brother, Creed, have lived the quiet life of farmers. One of the brothers died during the War Between the States, and the other, H.L. Phipps, became active in politics soon after gaining his majority. He was elected commissioner of the revenue, served as deputy sheriff for eight years and was elected sheriff for two terms. Although he was called upon to arrest many bad criminals it is said that he never carried a gun. He served as chairman of his party in the county for more than twenty years and when he resigned eight years ago his admirers presented him with a gold watch.
The eldest of this family, Marion Phipps, is able "to keep his corn row up" with the young people, and one passing his home today and seeing him hoeing his corm would scarcely dream that he was "eighty-eight years young."
