In the death of Mrs. J. Kipp, which occurred Saturday night, Monroe loses a noble woman. Notable by a long life of useful service as an educator both in day Sabbath schools; notable in her love of children and in her deeds of mercy, in all of which she exemplified the Christian religion she professed. Her influence upon younger minds that came under her oversight has been marked for the betterment of church and society.

She had also been actively identified with the fork of the Ladies’ Cemetery Association, and as an ardent lover of flowers her efforts for beautifying the “city of the dead” were along that line.

The hearts of our people go out in sympathy to father Kipp, who in his 82nd year, loses a loved companion and is left to travel life’s pathway alone.

The funeral services occurred from the residence at 1:30 p.m. Monday. Previous to 12 p.m. the many friends were permitted to take a last look at the face of the dear departed one who had mingled in life with them for so many years. Brief and appropriate remarks were made by Rev. R. A. Smith of the Baptist Church, and Rev. A. E. Foutch of the M. E. Church. The music was furnished by a quartette composed of Dr. L. W. Cochrane, Jas. Cochrane, Mrs. Mayme Taylor and Miss Clara Rinehart.

Floral tokens were choice and fine. This was especially appropriate since deceased had always been a great lover of flowers and plants.

The pallbearers were A. Custer, E. W. Henry, S. McKee, Henry Hummel, H. L. Orcutt, J. A. Kindred.

Those from abroad at the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. O. B. Kipp and daughter, Miss Blanche, Mrs. John C. Scarbrough, Mrs. W. G. Clements of Newton, Miss Laura Moore and Grant Smith of Des Moines, Mrs. Amanda Huffstedler, Fairfield. – Monroe Mirror ~ The Newton (IA) Daily News, Friday, February 16, 1906, Page 2, Column 1
