The passing of the young mother is a pitiable case, and the entire community has deeply felt the shock of the tragedy. Since two years in June, when Frank Hipskind, a painter, fell from a ladder, suffering injuries which took his life a week later, Mrs. Hipskind had struggled to keep her family together. For some time she advertised for sewing, and later took in washings to make a bare living for the children and herself. Sometimes as high as ten and eleven washings would be done in one day, and the constant hard work and sacrifice wore down her vitality and resistance. At times Mrs. Hipskind suffered with asthma which, in time, weakened her heart. During this week, however, she had been able to finish her work, and with the help of neighbors had returned the washings finished. Wednesday she was ill but kept busy and on Thursday felt no change in her condition. She had little time to think of her personal sufferings with five small children at home, sick with the flu and demanding her constant care. On Thursday evening she became worse, and her step-son, Lemoine Hipskind, his wife, and a neighbor, Mrs. Art Fordyce became attendants of Mrs. Hipskind, and two children, Lewis and Jean, who were with her in bed, sufferers of flu. At 12:30 Mr. Hipskind administered a hypodermic to ease the hard breathing and to bring sleep and rest to the sick woman. The oldest daughter, Pauline, 11 years of age, awakened this morning about 7 o'clock. She went to the grocery for the children's breakfast and had returned to the house to prepare the meal. About 7:30 o'clock, she went to the home of a neighbor, Mrs. Lawrence Bantham, frightened and ready to cry. "There is something the matter, Mrs. Bantham. I have called Mother and she won't answer. You had better come over to the house. Her arms are cold," the child explained. Mrs. Bantham quieted her and explained that letting her mother sleep was the best thing, but later, with a presentiment that something was wrong she went to the Hipskind house. The five children were huddled about the bed, near tears and too bewildered to grasp the horror of the situation. Their first cry to Mrs. Bantham was that she tell them their mother was not dead. A physician was called immediately and it was believed that Mrs. Hipskind had died several hours before, death probably due to heart attack. Lemoine Hipskind, the step-son, stated today that with such confusion and sickness about the home, it was not known where the children would be taken, but that he and his wife would probably take Pauline, the oldest, and Norman, the baby, three years old, to their home for awhile. The other children would be taken to the home of relatives in Huntington county, until a more definite and satisfactory arrangement could be made. The children have been wards of the Board of Children's Guardian for some time. Mrs. Frank Hipskind was Anna Riggers and was born in Huntington county. Her marriage occurred about thirteen years ago, in Wabash and five children were born to the couple. They are: Pauline, 11; Richard, 7; both pupils at the East Ward school; Lewis, 5; Joan, 4; and Norman, 3. Others who survive are two step-children, Lemoine Hipskind, living on Maple street, and Mrs. Ed Small, of Andrews; one sister, Mrs. George Miller, of Huntington; and two brothers, John and George, of Huntington county. It is probable that funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the St. Matthew's Evangelical church. Rev. E. C. Sinning will officiate and burial will be made in Falls Cemetery.
