At his home near Bloom Center, Logan Co., O., Aug. 12, 1890, after suffering terribly from a carbuncle located on his neck and shoulders, Curtis Lippincott, aged 52 years, 1 month, and 12 days.
The subject of this sketch was born near North Hampton, Clark Co., O., and in 1853, with his parents, removed to Logan county, where they entered this land, and farmed their home in the wilderness. In 1857 he was married to Elizabeth M. Babcock, daughter of Eld. Simeon, who is left to mourn his loss. During the pastorate of Eld. Hamilton Hull, he was baptized and united with the Seventh-day Baptist Church at Jackson Centre, of which he remained an earnest and faithful member till called to rest. The funeral sermon from Phil. 1: 21, was preached by his pastor at his late residence, for his aged mother's sake who had been helpless from paralysis for nearly five years. Having served his country in the 96th O. V. I., he was buried by his comrades, led by Smith Post G. A. R., of Jackson Center, according to the ceremonies of that order. He leaves a family of nine children, all of whom were at his side at death. He was eminently successful as a farmer, diligent in business, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord. He was well known and respected for his sterling qualities as was attested by the large concourse which followed his remains to their last resting place. L. D. S.
