Notes for David CHIPMAN
obit.:CHIPMAN, David - 1854 - 1911 Avery/Tebo/Henry
Saturday, April 8, 1911, we were reminded of the uncertainty of life, that the old must and the young may be called at any time to try the realities ofthat country, the coast of which we are nearing day by day, to make us feel, at the close of day when the sun sinks beneath the horizon, we are one day nearer home than we've ever been before. One by one our friends are crossing over; the gush from the bleeding heart is hardly stayed, till another comes "to tear agap the healing wound afresh." Words, of mine, are inadequate to express my feelings, when going to call on my friend, David Chipman, expecting to enjoy a pleasant visit with an old pupil whom I had not seen since December, to enter his house, no crepe upon the door to warn me and find him a corpse. I visited awhile with the heartbroken widow, then returned to my home, a sadder if not a better man. David Chipman, the subject of this sketch, is a native Missourian, born in Lafayette county, July 4, 1854, lacking from April 8th to July 4th of being fifty-seven years old. The intimacy of a teacher with a kind, polite and studious pupil can only be appreciated by those who have sustained a like relation, suffice it to say that a close intimacy has subsisted between us unbroken, till death brought the change, the parting of ways. David was a good man, a kind friend, an excellent neighbor, an intelligent businessman, one who was loved by all who knew him. He was married to Miss Mary Avery Dec. 20, 1882. To this union were born three children, Avery, who died in boyhood, a nameless child died in infancy, and Gertrude, who survives him. The Chipman family
moved to Henry county in 1867, the writer taught in that district in 1872, when this pleasant acquaintance began and this sacred fellowship awakened. A few friends assembled at the residence to pay their last sad token of respect on the morning of the 10th, at which the Rev. James A. Challenner read the scriptures and prayed, then Rev. L. H. Eakes of the M. E. South, church, preached a sermon of warm sympathy and consolation, after which the remains were taken to the Avery burying grounds for interment. We close by extending to the stricken wife and daughter our deepest and heartfelt sympathy and prayers in which we believe the entire community will join. - W. T. Shivel
