Born in Chandlerville, IL. Aged 19 years; typhoid pneumonia
The remains of Winthrop Lippincott, only child of Gen. Chas. E. Lippincott, arrived in this city yesterday afternoon over the Springfield & Northwestern Railroad. This promising young man died of pneumonia at Flat Meadows, the family residence, near Chandlerville, at 4 o'clock Wednesday morning. Deceased was in his 19th year, and his death is a severe blow to his bereaved parents, who some six years ago lost another son who had reached about the same age at the time of his decease. Winthrop Lippincott was well known in this city, where his manly qualities and genial nature had won for him hosts of friends who deeply sympathize with the afflicted family in their bereavement.
The remains of the departed were accompanied to this city, not only by the sorrowing family, but by a large number of relatives and friends, among whom were Dr. Chas. Chandler and wife, Linns, Chas. and Harrison Chandler and wife, of Chandlersville; Mr. and Mrs. Trackenton, of Petersburg; Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Bird, of St. Louis; Will B. Shaw, of Chandlersville; F. Abrahms, Miss Alice Broadwell and W. Phillips, of Jacksonville.
The sad procession moved to the Congregational Church, where the religious services were held. The organ pealed forth an impressive funeral march as the casket was borne slowly up the aisle of the church, followed by the family and other relatives, a number of State officials and numerous friends, who had assembled to pay the last tribute of respect and affection to the memory of their departed comrade.
The remains were borne to Oak Ridge Cemtery where, after the usual services, they were consigned to their last resting place. The clods that fell upon Winthrop's grave covered from sight all that was mortal of one of the most promising and best-loved young men in Springfield, and in his loss the bereaved family have the sincere sympathy of the entire community.
