Mrs. Joseph Shipp was on Vessel Driven Across Atlantic and Nearly Shipwrecked.
---The life of the late Mrs. Joseph Shipp of Eckford was more than usually eventful. Her mother died when she was only four years old. The father marrying again emigrted to America in the year 1832. The voyage wsa[siic] a memorable one because of a great and ong[sic] continued peril, in which all on board were placed. The big Robert de war, on which they took passage was heavily loaded with railroad iron, for which there was at that time an urgent demand by the newly formed companies of Massachusetts and New Jersey. A successful voyage was made for two thousand miles. But when upon the banks of Newfoundland, the vessel was caught by a terrific northwest gale, and driven before the fierce wind to the bay of Biscay, on the cost of Spain, and was so disabled by this storm that the cargo was thrown overboard, and the pumps kept at work night and day for six weeks. All who were able, men, women and children, took their turn at the pumps.
---A large part of the bulwark was washed away and much of the rigging lost, so that progress was slow and labored, and a renewal of the storm must have engulfed the vessel. Meanwhile the supply of provisions was nearly exhausted and starvation stared them in the face. Empty biscuit boxes were overhauled and every particle of crumb and dust utilized by famishing passnegers[sic]. At length a Dutch vessel came to their relief in time to save the passengers on board. After nine-three days and nights of peril, exposure and suspense, the vessel entered N. Y. Harbor, the passengers landed the Robert de War was declared worthless.
---After a short residence in New York, Mr. Saunders, the father, was drowned and the family returned to England. In March, 1842, she married Joseph Shipp, and returned to this country, the following June, coming up the Hudson to Albany, by way of Erie Canal to Buffalo, across the lake to Detroit, by wagon to Jackson and by tasge[sic] to Marshall.
---They crossed the ocean in a sailing vessel which was on the water 72 days. Mr. and Mrs. Shipp located upon a large farm in Emmett township, coming to Marshall in 1855, where Mr. Shipp was engaged in business until 1862, when they removed to Eckford which was their hom[sic] until their death.
---Died, Jan. 1st, 1913, at the home of her daughter, Mrrs. L. D. Sackett, in Eckford, Mrs. Joseph Shipp, aged 92 years. She was born at Kingswood, England, Dec. 31st, 1820. In March 1842, she was united in marriage to Joseph Shipp, coming to American in June of that year. Eleven children were born on this union, three only surviving: T. J. Shipp, Mrs. T. J. Smith and Mrs. L. D. Sackett. During the long months of waiting for the summons home, no one ever heard a word of complaint. Her loving heart, her faithful hands her never failing faith have been to those about her a rock of strength. The memory of her self denial and devotion will be an ever beckoning hand, calling us al[sic] to persistent faithfulness and endeavor. Her soul is gone to Him who gave it. Her place is vacant, her voice is silent, but the memory of her patient endurance, sweet, and tender, will ever be a power, a benediction in the lives of all who have known and loved her.
