GENERAL WHIPPLE DIES OF PNEUMONIABringing to a close a life that was crammed with activity with the United States Army when the West was young, death yeasterday took Brig. Gen. Charles H. Whipple retired, who succumbed at St. Vincent's Hospital to an attack of pneumonia.
General Whipple was stricken a week ago, a few days after returning from a visit to his son, Henry, in Brooklyn, N.Y.
The Army officer, 83 years old, was born in Adams, N.Y., in 1849 the son of Bishop Henry B. Whipple, known as the Apostle to the Indians.
At the age of 23, the future famous general was given a position as cashier at the Citizens' National Bank of Faribault, Minn., a job he held for ten years when the lure of army life overtook him and he won appointment as major paymaster.
It was during this period that an accident that won him national attention occurred. While carrying the payroll of $30,000 to an army encampment in Montana, bandits held up the stage. The guard was killed, the stage driver was wounded, but Whipple took to the underbrush with the money and escaped.

In 1908 he was appointed brigadier general and paymaster general. He retired February 15, 1912, after seeing active service in the Philippines, Cuba, and Puerto Rico.
