Newport Hoosier State
Thursday, September 2, 1869
Died at the residence of Solon Johnson, 4 1/2 miles south of Newport, on August 29, 1869, of heart disease, Martha Chipps, widow of Simeon Chipps, deceased. In early life, Mrs. Chipps became a member of the Presbyterian Church, while living in the State of Ohio. When she removed to this place near 40 years ago, there being no church of that denomination here, she joined the M.E. Church, and has been an earnest, sincere, and zealous member through all those years. The death of this woman has broken another link that binds us to the past. Slowly but surely the old veterans are laying their armours by, and soon there will be none left of the number that first settled in this county.
