Born to W.G. and Frances Shipman.
Brother to, Wayne, of Washington; and Marion, Orchard, Nebr., Mrs. Bessie Stevens, Auburn, Wash.; Mrs. Gladys Erickson, Coleridge, Nebr.; and Mrs. Anna Mae Maxwell, Blackfoot, Idaho.
In 1935 he was united in marriage to Mable Erb of O'Neill, Nebr. To this union one daughter and three sons were born.
Father and son (Robert) met death together while in the silo. Silage that had frozen to the side of the silo during the winter, fell, covering and smothering them.
A double funeral was held April 18 at the Lake Region Church, near Detroit Lakes, Minn.
Surviving are his sorrowing companion, one daughter (Ruth Ann), 2 sons (Dean David and Richard Lee).
He was a member of the Mennonite church since 1935 and was a regular attendant at the house of God. We believe he was ready to meet his Saviour at a very unexpected moment.
