"Theodore L. Stipp, Bismark, farmer, school-teacher and minister, was born in Newell township, on the 24th of December 1,1848, and is a son of George Y. and America A. (Smith) Stipp.
He began private law studies in 1868; was admitted to practice in the Circuit Court of Warren County, Indiana, in the April term of 1870. He attended a course of lectures at the University of Michigan in the winter of 1570-1, graduating the 29th of March, 1871. Finding the law not congenial to his tastes, he abandoned the profession and became identified with the Church of Christ, and was ordained a minister on the 24th of August, 1873.
His labors have since been extended over a wide field, embracing Warren, Fountain and Vermilion counties, Indiana, and Champaign and Vermilion counties, Illinois. Mr. Stipp has never been a political aspirant for office, but in the campaign of 1875 was favorably mentioned as a candidate for congress on the independent ticket, and received the support of the Vermilion county delegation in the Tolono convention, which nominated J. H. Pickrell.
He was married on the 28th of March, 1872, to Emma P. Norris. They are the parents of two living children: Emina Belle and Theodore E. Mr. Stipp owns sixty acres of land, worth $1,800." - History of Vermilion County, Illinois, by H.W. Beckwith, 1879
