LIPPINCOTT Sarah Shaw was born in Barbour county, Virginia (now West Virginia) Oct. 16, 1846, and died at her home in Keosauqua, Feb. 11, 1916, at the age of 3 months and 25 days past 69. At the age of 6, in 1852, she came with her parents to Iowa, locating near Kilbourne. Later the Shaws bought a farm near Vernon on which they located and lived for a number of years. Sarah Shaw was married to W. A. Lippincott, Oct. 18, 1864, the wedding service being officiated by Judge Henry Strickling at Keosauqua. Mr. and Mrs. Lippincott went to house-keepieg [sic] at his home at Bentonsport where they lived for thirteen years. For the next eight years their home was at Vernon and vicinity. For about two years of this time they lived on the Shaw farm, assisting and taking care of Mrs. Lippincott's parents until and after her father's death. In 1885 Mr. Lippincott was appointed by the board of supervisors superintendent of the insane department of the County Home, and there they lived for fourteen months. From there they went to Bentonsport, where they lived for ten years, the last three years being in the hotel business. In the fall of 1899 they leased the Russell House at Keosauqua, and this was their home when Mrs. Lippincott passed away. She was the mother of two children: Mrs. Almira E. Sargeant who died in 1913, and Mrs. Cornelia F. Ervin of Des Moines, who survives and was at her mother's bedside during the last illness, and tenderly assisted in doing all that loving care could do. Mrs. Lippincott was a member of the Keosauqua Congregational church and took an active part in church work. She was a noble woman and greatly beloved by all who knew her for her cheery disposition, kind heart and always friendly greeting. She and her aged husband had lived a happy married life for a period of 51 years, 3 months and 24 days, and her taking away is a sore bereavement to him, in which his many friends sympathize deeply. Funeral services, in charge of Rev. C. E. Perkins, were held at the Congregational Church here on Tuesday afternoon, Feb. 15. Burial in Purdom cemetery.
