John M. Shipplett, a Confederate Veteran and highly respected citizen of Rockingham County was found dead yesterday afternoon at 12:30 o'clock in his garden at Mount Crawford. Mr. Shipplett had been in failing health for more than a year due to the infirmities of age, but had been in his usual health recently. Yesterday morning he walked out into his garden and after remaining an unusually long time his granddaughter, Mrs. Zella Knicely, who has been keeping house for him, became uneasy and went in search. She found him lying on the ground and when she reached him life was extinct.
Mr. Shipplett was a son of the late Micajah Shipplett, and was born in Rockingham County about seventy-five years ago. He was a member of the Methodist Church and during his younger days was a well known miller. His wife, who was Miss Sarah May, died several years ago.
Surviving Mr. Shipplett are five daughters, Mrs. Mannie Lloyd, of Ablingdon, Ill; Mrs. E. C. Moyers, Mrs Lucy Tutwiler and Mrs. John S. Mitts, of Mount Crawford; Mrs. Annie Vawters, of near Blackburg; four sons, G. A., Joesph, Charles and Bud Shipplett, of Abingdon, Ill. He also leaves two brothers, M. H. Shipplett, of High Point, N.C., and George C. Shipplett, of Mount Crawford.
Owing to the arrival of the children from a distance the funeral arrangements had not been completed last night.
