[Waterloo Semi Weekly Courier, Wednesday, February 8, 1905, Waterloo, Iowa]

After an illness covering a period of a little over two weeks, Abraham Whipkey passed away yesterday morning at 1 o'clock. Death was due to asthma, although of late he had been in poor health, following a general breakdown incident to old age. He was eighty-two years of age.

He is survived by three sons and two daughters. They are: Frank of Davenport, Nebraska: S. A., of Canton, North Dakota, and Isaac, of Trent, South Dakota, Mrs. Daniel Snyder, residing on Franklin Street in this city, Mrs. Jonathan Whipkey, residing four miles south of Waterloo. Word has been received by live Waterloo relatives that the sons will not be able to attend the funeral.

Deceased was born in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, and came to Black Hawk County thirty-five years ago and has resided here since. His wife died seven years ago and since then Mr. Whipkey has been living with the children, and only two weeks ago he returned from the east, where he spent a number of months visiting relatives and friends.

Funeral services will be held Friday morning at 10. o'clock at the taking parlors and then the remains will be removed to the Dunkard church south of this city where the last sad rites will be solemnized. He will be buried in the Dunkard cemetery beside the remains of his wife.

Any one wishing to view the remains may do so by calling at Towne's undertaking parlors tomorrow afternoon at three o'clock.
