DentIl Of mrs. james B. Tippett.


Last night at nine o'clock Death
invaded our family and took away
Mrs. Eliza J. Day Tippett, wife of
James B. Tippett, son of the editor
of this paper, and thus removed
from our midst lady who enjoyed
the love, the respect and esteem of
every member of the community
privileged to know her, and leav-
ing blank IN the lives of many
which It viii be impossible to I'll.
Mrs. Tippett was the daughter
of Benjamin Day. deceased, and
sister of Mrs. John r. Couch of
Kanawha Five-Mile. She was
born Sept. 1st, 1858, and died Sept.
2sd, 1897 On October 29th, 1879
she was united in marriage to JAS.
B. Tippett.
A dutifnl daughter, and a loving
and devoted wife. Mrs. Tippett had
also characteristics which endeared
her to all with whom she came IN
contact, prominent among which
were generous charity, a geniaIity
of disposition and oIe-hearted
kindness ofnature which made her
the warmest and most attached of
friends, and in her were combined
the attributes of nobleness and
self-sacrificing devotion to an unu-
sual degree. rendering her a pure.
disinterested friend and the woman
Iiest Of women
Mrs. Tippett had been Ill for
some time and her death was not
altogether unanticipated, but it
was scarcely expected to come 50
soon. She passed away surTound
ed by those nearest and dearest TO
her, and it is consolatory to know
that nothing within the power of
human aid to alleviate her suffer
ings was neglected.
Mrs. Tippett was for years an
enthusiastic member Of the Pres
byterian Church, with all OF the
matters pertaining to which she
ever manifested the keenest sympa-
thy. None ever appealed to her
charity, or her sympathy without
generous response and many today
viii remember hundreds of acts Of
kindly friendship and bountiful
assistance rendered By her with an
unselfshness which lent additional
grace and value to them.
The funeral win take place to-
morrow at 2 P. M, from the family
residence on Wand street, and ser
vices viii be conducted by ber
Pastor, Rev. A. i. Grover. Inter
