The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, March 7, 1907

The body of WILLIAM LIPE of southeastern Nebraska, was brought in on No. 4
yesterday for burial. MR. LIPE was 45 years old, and was a son of JOHN LIPE
of Otter Creek Township. Years ago he went west, he resided alone on his
large farm and his neighbors not seeing him around at his work, went in to
see what was the matter. To their surprise they found him lying in the
doorway dead, his feet and lower limbs badly frozen and the indications were
that he had been dead several days. The father was notified of the son's
death and MRS. MATTIE PFRIMMER, sister to the dead man went to accompany the
remains back to his former home. Funeral services were conducted at the
home of JNO. LIPE today and the remains buried in the Fletcher Cemetery.

*In another column of the same date:

WILLIE LIPE, son of JOHN and MAHALA LIPE, was born near Norwood, April 3,
1863, and died at his home in Lincoln County, Nebraska, Feb. 25, 1907, aged
44 years, 10 months and 22 days. He spent his youthful life in the
neighborhood of Norwood in the home of his father till he reached manhood,
when he took leave of the parental home and went to Kansas. He soon moved to
Nebraska where he spent the remainder of his life. He was one of those
enterprising pioneer men who faced the wilds of pioneer life in Nebraska.
His illness lasted but a few days and death ensued. He leaves an aged
father and foster mother, one brother, four sisters and a large circle of
relatives and friends to mourn their loss.

The funeral was conducted from the M.E. Church at Norwood, Lucas County,
Iowa, and the remains were interred in the Fletcher Cemetery to await the
call of the Master in the morning of the resurrection. Rev. M. Hulbert
officiated at the burial.
