Jacob Ellsworth Lipe, one of our most progressive and prominent citizens, died at his home, three miles west of Elkville, Sunday morning at nine o'clock. He was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Wiley Lipe, and was born near DuQuoin, Ill., in Perry county, May 29, 1862, making him 45 years, 10 months and 28 days old at the time of his death.
In 1885 he was united in marriage with Almira Estell Kimmel, and continued to live with his parents until 1888, when he moved to his own farm near Elkville. He was one of the most up-to-date and energetic farmers and stock raisers to be found in the county. His place was known as "Egypt Stock Farm," and here he raised his high class horses and cattle, it being the home of Uncle George 2:241/4.
His home has often been the scene of many happy occasions for both old and young, and those who have had the opportunity to partake of his good nature and hospitality will doubly feel their loss, and he always seemed happiest when he could make those around him enjoy themselves.
To the marriage above mentioned two children were born into this home namely, Ara Beulah and William Petterson, in whom he took great pride and to whose welfare he was ever interested. The children at the time of his taking sick were attending the S.I.N.U. at Carbondale, but owing to his condition continually becoming serious, gave up their school work to help care for their father. All that loving relatives and friends could do seemed to be of no avail to mitigate his intense suffering.
Besides a host of friends, he leaves to morn (sic) their loss, a loving wife, two children, three sisters, and an aged father, all of whom were present at the time of his death.
Funeral services were conducted at the residence by K. A. Williams, pastor of the Christian church, of Elkville, Monday afternoon, March 27. Interment was made in the Kimmel cemetery. Many beautiful floral designed were contributed by relatives and appreciative friends.
