cast for James X. Polk in 1874, he has been
an uncompromising Democrat of the Jack
sonian school, and from that date to the pres

ties, among whom he recalls the late Francis
Scott Key, Jr., son of Francis Scott Key OF
''Star Spangled Banner fame; Hon. Elias

Shipley Of Howard county and many others.
In 1855, Mr.. Shipley moved WILDWOOD
the estate of the late Joseph Smith, Jr., two
two miles east of Pikesville, an estate which
he farmed for twenty-seven years. In 1888
he relinqushed farming and moved to Pixies
VILE Mr. Shipley's wife, who died six years
ago. was ii Miss Rachel Jacob Morris. and
lineal descendant of Henry Safer, who founded
in 1742 Sater's Baptis. Church, Chestnut
Ridge, in Baltimore county.
He has three children living Misses Clara
and Annie, and DR.. VIM. B. Shipley.
Mr.. Shipley comes from family noted for
longevity. one of his sisters, Mrs. Eurith B.
Parrish, dying at the age of So; another, Mrs.
Anne Frazier, of Finksburg, at 70. His only
surviving sister, Mrs. Rachel Gorsuch, of
Baltimore, recently attained her S5th birthday
and is still in very good health.
