Notes

!SOURCE: Email from Lynda Ozinga (email hidden) to the Whipple Website, 25 Jul 2000, citing obituary searches, internet information on the Russell family in Dassell Minnesota, and other researchers.

!SOURCE: Email from Lynda Ozinga to Weldon Whipple 23 Sep 2003. Cites 1880 census of Cambridge, Henry, Illinois, which lists 8-year-old Windsor Whipple, b. in Illinois. Also cites Wynn's obituary:

March 27, 1947 Adair county Free Press, W. W. Whipple (age 75) died as a result of a suicide and in shooting himself he set his barn on fire. "Mr. Whipple had been suffering from arthritis of the knees and was in the habit of getting up at night to relieve the pain by massage and heat applications. Mrs. Whipple had missed him Sunday morning when he did not return to bed, and looking through a downstairs window she saw a fire in the barn. She called for her husband, received no response, and turned in a fire alarm. The barn burned so rapidly there was little hope of saving it. The metal parts of a double barreled shot gun with two exploded shells in the chamber were found near Mr. Whipples' remains. Both shells bore firing pin marks. The body was almost completely burned, but enough remained to convince officials that he had been lying on his Back with his feet to the southwest. The muzzle of the gun was pointed toward the body. There was no livestock in the barn, at the time of the fire. The bottom of the mow was filled with loose hay on which had been piled baled hay. He is survived by his wife, there being no children.

OBITUARY -

Mr. Whipple came to Iowa in 1908 from Cambridge, Illinois where he was born. He was a friendly man, with a cheerful, jovial disposition. He made friends easily and was well liked by all who knew him. His parents and all four of his brothers preceded him in death. He is survived by his wife with whom he shared over 37 years of wedded fellowship and by a number of nieces and nephews by whom he was held in sincere affection and high esteem. He will be greatly missed by his neighbors and a wide circle of friends. He was a member of the Odd Fellow Lodge, and was a member of the Masons. He served as township trustee for a number of years. Masonic Burial Services were held at the Greenfield Presbyterian Church. (Excerpts from the Adair County Free Press March 27, 1947 and April 3, 1947).

!NOTE: "He died ... by suicide. He rigged a shot gun in the barn, and set fire to the barn in the process of shooting himself. ... He was in great pain from arthritis of the knees, was in the habit of getting up & walking 2-3 hours in the middle of the night to relieve the pain, & it was thought just couldn't take the pain. The obit says he as a cheerful fellow, well liked by all he met, and was a member of the Odd Fellow Lodge & the Masons. His burial rites were Masonic Burial Rites. No children are mentioned in the obituary." --L. Ozinga
