| Notes |
- James Clinton Phipps, son of William and Sarah Phipps, was born in Parke county, August 19, 1836. Departed this life April 1, 1915, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Rou Noyves, of Chanute, Kansas, where he had gone to visit, at the age of seventy-eight years, seven months and thirteen days.
He was married to Sarah Jane Hybarger of Fountain county, December 12, 1861. To this union were born twelve children, six boys and six girls, nine of whom grew to manhood and womanhood, four of them having preceded him, also his companion on May 24, 1905. He leaves four sons and four daughters, twenty grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, a sister and two brothers to mourn his loss.
During the Civil war he went to Indianapolis to enlist but was rejected because he was bodily disabled.
Although he had made no outward pretense of religion, he was a great bible reader, and was honest in all his dealings, and obliging and kind-hearted neighbor. He was stricken with paralysis on March 29, and told his daughter at the very first of his sickness that he wouldn't get well. Death in any form is a bereavement but coming so unexpectedly, so utterly without warning is indeed a bereavement that may seem well right unbearable.
After short funeral services at the home of his daughter in Chanute, the remains accompanied by his son, Alford, and daughter, Viola Ferguson were brought back to the home of his daughter, Mrs. John Tucker, near Mecca, Indiana, Saturday, and after remaining over night, he was taken to Lutheran, near Wallace, Fountain county, and after short services he was laid to rest by his companion.
