The editor of The Herald and News
first became acquainted with Mr..
Hipp many years ago when they were
both pupils at the country school at
st. Paul's. We should say that the
highest encomium that could be paid
him is that he attended strictly to
his own business, spoke no junkind
words of any one, was devoted to his
family and faithful In the service Of
his church. These characteristics
necessarily made him good citizen
and an upright man. .-+.
The following is the sketch read
by his pastor at the funeral:
Edward Reginald Hipp, son Of
George and Martha Hipp, was, born
near Pomaria, S. c., August 20, 1855
His parents died when he was but a
lad, and with five others, three broth
ers and two sisters, thrown on their
own resources, he had to endure the
privations of 1861 to 1865, attending
neighboring country schools at if
regular intervals, and working for
his daily support. -:}...
In 1878, in copartnership with his
uncle, David Hipp, he engaged in the
mercantile business at Pomaria, and
continued in this business till 1890.
On the first of March, 1888, he mar
ried Mary Elvira Holloway, daugh.
ter Of the late Col. Thomas W. Hollo-
way, and to this unionc six children
have been born: Edna c., Louise A.,
M. Rosa1yn, Mary H., Thomas Earle
and Edward r., all living.
:. He moved to Newberry in 1888,
and continued in the mercantile
business, and by. dint Of strict and
diligent attention to his work, by
fair and square dealings, by un-
questionable and unwavering homes
ty, his business prospered, and at his
death, he was one of the largest deal
ers in the city sof Newberry.
He was liberal and public spirit
ed member of every civic organiza-
tion that looked to the betterment Of
his scommunity-contributing cheer
fully and literally of his means, to
the extension of every cause that
stood for the upbuilding Of the towD
in every good way.
But as member and officer of the
Lutheran Church of the Redeamer,
he will be missed most sorely Al
ways punctual and regular in his at
tendance upon divine services, both
in the church and in the Sunday
school and prayer meeting, always
willing and foremost in his generos-
ity towards every good cause, con-
tributing his wise counsel and gra-
cious sympathy, in word and deed,
towards his pastor His vacant pew
deeply saddens the hearts of all
those whose blessed privilege it was
to be his associates.
AS a kind and affectionate hus-
band and father, a public spirited
and progressive citizen devoted
to the upbuilding of his town,
as a loyal and faithful member of
his church, and one ever mindful of
!
