Taylor County, Iowa death record: Hipsley, Jeremiah, died Dec 27, 1932 Dallas twp; born Jan 9, 1848 Mansfield, Knox co, Ohio; father Joseph Goodman Hipsley born Baltimore co, Md; mother Thirza Brown born Knox Co, Ohio; buried Clarinda.

Obituary:
Jeremiah Hipsley, son of Joseph and Thirza Hipsley, was born in Knox county, Ohio, January 9, 1848, and departed from this life in the home of Mr and Mrs Earl Hipsley in New Market, Iowa, December 27, 1932 at the age of 84 years, 11 months and 18 days.

He moved with his parents to Schuyler county, Illinois in 1849, where he grew to manhood. In 1867 he joined the regular army, serving as a soldier for three years. Upon being discharged from this service he returned to his parents who had removed to Wayne county, Iowa. In 1873 the family again removed to Page county, Iowa where he continued to reside until 1900 when he moved to Taylor county, Iowa where he lived until his death.

He was preceded in death by his father and mother and three brothers Levi, Asa and William, leaving one brother, Jacob of New Market, three nephews, Frank of San Francisco, Calif, Charles of Coin and Earl of New Market, Iowa; also five grandnieces, Mable Walton of Omaha, Opal Roll of Coin, Lucille Preeo of Clarinda Gartha Grace Hipsley of Coin and Verna Grace Hipsley of New Market, Iowa, beside a host of warm friends to mourn his departure.

He was an active member of the local Odd Fellows and Masonic lodges whose fellowship he enjoyed and whose influence he sought to extend.

Mr Hipsley became a member of the Church of Christ of New Market by confession and baptism, February 9, 1921. He gave himself earnestly to the service of the Master. He was a man of more than ordinary ability and took an active part in the church work to which he remained faithful to the end.

Uncle Jerry, as he was known to his many friends, was a man of sterling integrity, a friend to every man, charitable, kind and thoughtful for the welfare of the distressed and needy.

Let us draw around his errors, what ever they may have been, the broad mantle of Christian charity, and remember only the virtues of the noble life he lived in the service of humanity. And so, may the sable curtain close around him and let him sleep quietly until the Great Master Builder shall awaken him on the glad morning of the resurrection.

The funeral services were held from the Church of Christ in New Market, Thursday, December 29, at 1:30 pm, conducted by Rev Hall of Clarinda, and assisted by Rev Osborn of New Market. Interment was made in the Clarinda cemetery, conducted by the local lodge of Odd Fellows.

Pall bearers for the funeral were Frank Steel, Charles Hook, George Lathrop, A.C. Claybaugh, Lon Anderson and Willis Alkire. Mrs Thelma Pullen and Bessie Godfrey sang three duets with Mrs Opal Brown as accompanist. CLARINDA HERALD JOURNAL, Clarinda, Iowa, Jan 2, 1933
