Wife of John W. Stipp.
Anzonetta "Annie" Chapline was born 13 April 1851 to William R. Chapline and Margaret Ann Hout Chapline on April 13, 1851. Annie grew up in Shepherdstown, Jefferson County, Virginia [now West Virginia].
The Shepherdstown Register, published 24 September 1870, reported "in Sharpsburg, [Md.} on the 14th inst., by the Rev. G. H. Beckley, Mr. John W. Stipp [married]Miss Annie Chapline, both of Jefferson County, W. Va." but here is the rest of the story.
In 1952 a distant relative, Margaret Birney Pittis, published "The Hout Family," a genealogy of Annie's mother's family. Miss Pittis wrote the following about John and Annie Stipp:
"In July, 1927, the author visited this elderly couple…With much animation and glee they told of their elopement…They became lovers, but her father objected to their marriage. Unable to overcome his opposition, they finally decided to elope, made their plans and set the time. John, dressed in new wedding garments, drove with horse and buggy to a place near the Chapline home in Shepherdstown. He was promptly met by the awaiting Annie, she being aided in her escape by her mother. Fearing pursuit by the irate father, John had arranged with the ferryman to be in readiness and to cut loose and push off at full speed upon their arrival, which he obligingly did. Safely across the Potomac, they drove a distance of three miles to Sharpsburg, Maryland, to the home of her Uncle Edgar Chapline. John hastened to find a minister. At the Lutheran Church he found the Rev. Mr. Beckley conducting singing school. He beckoned the minister to the door and told his story. The affable Mr. Beckley graciously promised to come as soon as his singing lesson was finished. He came, and he brought his entire singing school with him. They all joined in the merriment and had a jolly, lively time. After a honeymoon of three days, John and Annie returned to the home of his parents, seven miles from Shepherdstown. There they had a gala reception. To make certain that nothing went wrong at the time of the elopement, Annie's understanding and sympathetic mother had dear old Dad snugly and safely tucked away in bed with a mustard plaster. After fifty-seven years of happy married life, although frail, they were still jubilant over their romance and elopement."
Annie and John Stipp had three children: Mary Ophelia Stipp, born 1871; Catherine May Stipp, born 1873; and Charles Martin Stipp, born 1876.
Annie and John both died in 1928 and are buried next to each other at the German Reformed Church cemetery in Shepherdstown, West Virginia.
