!SOURCE: Email from Casey Whipple (email hidden) to Weldon Whipple, 6 Jan 2015. He writes the following:
I've come into possession of an interesting handwritten letter regarding Samuel Angel Whipple (https://whipple.one-name.net/tng/getperson.php?personID=I25339&tree=whipple), written by his daughter and eldest child Linnie Ellen Whipple (b 1878?, and apparently not currently on the Whipple GenWeb)."...Benjamin Whipple [https://whipple.one-name .net/tng/getperson.php?personID=I25192&tree=whipple] married a Miss Young, and to them three children, were born: Cilinda, the oldest, and the only girl, the second child, a boy, died at birth, the third child, Samuel A Whipple. His mother died at birth and he and his sister were orphans, sometimes in the homes of the Youngs, and sometimes in the homes of the Whipples. Being an orphan, Samuel, caught much of the rough side of life; he worked his way through school, and he entered the Texas Conference, as one of her most promising preachers. He rose rapidly to about the second best station in the Conference. One of the stations, being Flatonia, Texas, where a number of old friends still live and love his memory. He came to California, while still a very young man, and preached for sometime at Merced, he married Mary Alice Taylor, in the Fall of 1878, Then after I was born we went back to Texas, where he finally gave up preaching, and taught school, for some time. In the meantime three other children were born, my two brothers and a sister.Benjamin is referred to in this letter without the first name "Stephen," but I am confident they are same person, as she refers to his preacher brothers Josiah, Louis B, who she describes as having died as members of the Texas Conference of Methodists. Another brother, John, is stated to have died in Illinois.Dee, DE Bard, and Stella, then we came back to California, Stella, being just six weeks old, when we started.
In June, the 8th, 1889, our father took up a homestead, in the Coast Range Mountains, near Newman, Stanislaus County, there another child was born, this one being a girl, our father named her Mary, after our mother, when this child was nearly two years old, our father died, September, the 12th, 1892, leaving us five children orphans, we were scattered here and there. Dee Whipple, the oldest boy, married Birdie Whitson and raised two sons, Dee Jr. and Harold Bard Whipple. He married Irene Honey, December the 10th, 1925. To this union, two sons were born. Robert Gordon Whipple, on April 16th 1927, and William Dee Whipple, January 12th, 1933, who are the 5th generation of Whipple.
I hope the name will live for many generations more, and all be honorable, and good honest men.
I have written this as a Memorial to the life of the Whipple, and sacred memory of our dear father, Samuel Angel Whipple.
Linnie Ellen Whipple"
Although he is listed as "Daniel" on the 1900 Fresno census record cited on the Whipple GenWeb, my family has always known him as "Dee," as he is referred to in this letter. His older sister, the author of the above letter, was married in Stanislaus, CA in 1895 to a George Alexander Wright, and was no longer part of that household. I unfortunately can't find any other documentation about her after that.
Harold Bard was my great-grandfather and member of the "disconnected whipples" page http s://whipple.one-name.net/tng/getp erson.php?personID=I121309&tree=whipple.
