Chenango Union, May 30, 1878:
SHIPPEY: In this village, May 25th, Mr. Ezekiel Shippey, aged 83 years.
Another of our venerable citizens has gone to his rest. Ezekiel Shippey died at his residence on Grove Avenue, in this village, on Saturday last, of erysipelas, aged eighty-two years. Deceased was born in Gloucester, R.I., in 1796, and removed with his parents in 1806, to what is known as "Rhode Island" in the east part of this town, settling upon the farm now owned by David Fields. At that time the forests covered the hills and valleys, and abounded in game. In 1820 he married, and located on a farm in Webb Settlement, where he resided twelve years, when he purchased a farm on Great Brook, in the town of New Berlin, upon which he remained until this spring, when he removed to this village. He served in the war of 1812, and has since drawn a pension for honorable services. Mr. Shippey was much respected by all who knew him. His life has been an eventful one, and he has borne his share in the toils and trials which attended the early settlers of the country. He has gone to an honored grave. The funeral was attended at his late residence, on Tuesday afternoon, the services being conducted by Rev. D. Ballou, of Utica. The remains were interred in the White Store cemetery, by the side of his first wife and three children. A widow and seven children survive him, nearly all of whom were present at the funeral.
