Elisha Shipp, for many years a familiar figure on our streets, has finally yielded to the inevitable, and gone to live at the soldiers home in Marshalltown. ‘Lish is upwards of 63 years old, and growing feeble. He was for a short time a private of Co. C 22nd Iowa, but on account of mental infirmities was discharged. His only relative hereabouts, Mrs. Newton, a sister, is unable to look after him, so he has gone to the home – the best place for him.
