SIPPEL died at his home in this city Sunday evening, after less than a week's confinement to the house, from an affection of the lungs. Few people knew he was ill, and even those closest to him had little reason to suspect that his sickness would have a fatal termination. Mr. SIPPEL was a native of Hesse-Cassel, Germany, and was born March 3d, 1840 (sic. note that his 1890 Portrait and Biography profile used 1841 as the birth year). Fifteen years later, because of ill health, he came to the United States, and until the breaking out of the rebellion made his home in Pennsylvania and New York. When calls were made for troops he promptly responded and enlisted in the Ninety-Third Pennsylvania infantry. He was a brave and faithful soldier, and when he quitted the service he bore the rank of captain. For two years or more following the close of the war Mr. SIPPEL was a clerk in one of the departments at Washington, a position he was compelled to relinquish because of ill health. In 1868 he came to Iowa, located at Abingdon, and entered the employ of T. W. GOBBLE & Co. In Polk township, two years later, he was married to Miss Sarah LEISURE, who survives him. Four children were born to them, three of whom are now living in this city - Mrs. A.U. CORNELL, Adolph and Lulu SIPPEL. Mr. SIPPEL was a lithographer by trade, a skillful penman and an expert bookkeeper. A.W. JAQUES, then clerk of the court, knew of his qualifications, and in 1878 placed him in his office as deputy. So thoroughly did the assistant do his work, so popular did he become with the people of the county, that his name was almost the only one mentioned for the position three years later, and he received the nomination in the republican convention and the election at the polls by handsome votes. Thrice again was he nominated and elected by splendid majorities, and when he retired from official life it was with the best wishes of almost every resident of Jefferson county. For three years past Mr. SIPPEL has been in the employ of LEGGETT & McKEMEY. Charlie SIPPEL was a plain and unassuming man, gentle and kindly in his manner. He was a faithful , painstaking public official, and in private life an assistant who always had his employer's interests at heart. By his thorough honesty, by doing well everything he undertook, he attained a popularity which few men of his day enjoyed in Jefferson county. His death will come as a great shock to the many who knew him and loved him for his excellence of character. Mr. SIPPEL was a Mason and an Odd Fellow, as well as a member of the Grand Army of the Republic. These three orders participated in the funeral exercises yesterday, and the services were conducted by Rev. G.W. Mapes. ------ Note: Sarah J Leisure Sippel reportedly died on March 2, 1927 in Centralia, WA and was buried there.
