He has lived continually in Washington County since 1857 except fifteen months in 1911 to 1912, which were spent in Florida.
Besides his widow and three children he is survived by three sisters and three brothers, Mrs. L. R. Fletcher and Mrs. L. A. Kantlin of Omaha, Mrs. S. R. Fletcher of Bancroft, William J. of Red Cloud, James W. and Ephraim of Blair.
Mr. Lippincott was a quiet, well-informed man, clean in mind and person, honest in all his dealings with all his fellows and therefore a good citizen who will be missed by all who knew him. The bereaved family has the sympathy of the entire community for his acquaintance was community wide.
