In Memoriam
Stephen B. Whipple
A Member
of the
Society of California PioneersIn Memorian: Biographical Sketch of Stephen Brown Whipple
The Committee appointed to draft a suitable memorial on the death of our late fellow member, Stephen B. Whipple, most respectfully submits the following report.
Stephen Brown Whipple was born in Cumberland, R.I., on the 11th of November 1820. He sailed from Boston on the "Duxberry," February 9th, 1849: arriving in San Francisco Sept. 12th, 1849, on the German Bark, "Talisman," to which he had transferred at Valparaiso.
He went East on a visit and was united in the bonds of matrimony on the 3rd of July, 1850, to Miss Sarah Jane Phillip of Stratford, Connecticut; with whom he returned to California, the land of his choice, and his future home.
Our brother Pioneer was one of the first who mined for coal in our state. He owned and operated the "Union Coal Mine" on Mt. Diablo; and also carried on, at 315 Mission St. and afterwards on Beale St., a wholesale and retail coal business for over twenty-five years.
Mr. Whipple built the river steamer, "S. M. Whipple," named after his eldest daughter, and ran the steamer on the Sacramento River for a number of years, in opposition to the steamers of the Central Pacific R. R. He was the first importer of trotting stock to our state; and it has justly been said of him that he laid the foundation of the trotting horse industry of California. He was also in the flour mill business in the early fifties. In 1860, he moved to San Mateo, and lived there in his beautiful home, later on moving to Alameda.
The subject of our memoir, who was the eldest of six children, came in a direct line from New England Puritan stock; - his father, Knight Whipple, and his mother, whose maiden name was Lucy Ballon [sic], having both been born in Cumberland, where the Ballon and Whipple families have lived, - as shown by the public records of Rhode Island,- since the year 1645.
Mr. Whipple's wife died on the 6th of April, 1867; and of the six children who had blessed their union, four survive him, two sons and two daughters. Both of his sons are life-members of the "Society of California Pioneers."
He was one of that now fast dwindling band of Pioneers, whose untiring energy, zeal and intelligent industry built up for our Nation this grand commonwealth of California, with its fertile valleys, its gold-bearing hills and its city of San Francisco, "The Queen of the Pacific".
Stephen B. Whipple died in Alameda, California, on July 6th, 1888, at the age of 67 years, 7 months and 25 days. The funeral was held from his late residence 1861 San Jose Ave. Alameda; - religious services at the house and at the grave by the Rev. Dr. Eastman; - interment, Lone Mountain Cemetery.
In addition to the foregoing brief sketch of the life of our late brother Pioneer, Stephen B. Whipple, the Committee submits the subjoined preamble and resolutions, and solicits the adoption of the same by the "Society of California Pioneers."
WHEREAS, -- In His infinite wisdom, an Omnipotent Providence has seen fit to remove from this sphere of his earthly usefullness our late fellow member, Stephen Brown Whipple, and -
WHEREAS, -- His long and honorable business career and his social virtues have endeared him to the surviving members of our Society, and commanded for him the confidence and respect of all who knew him, therefore be it -
RESOLVED, -- That in the death of Stephen B. Whipple, the "Society of California Pioneers" deplores the loss of one whose sterling traits of character, affable demeanor and kindly impulses entitle him to their affectionate esteem.
RESOLVED, -- That to the bereaved family we tender our sincere and heartfelt sympathy, and while we realize that words cannot prevent their grief or heal their sorrowing hearts in this dark hour of their affliction, still we offer them the only consolation in our power to give, and this memorial is a testimonial of our high regard for our departed brother and of our sorrow at his death.
Signed, Wm. L. Duncan (Chairman), Theodore Storm, H.H. Welch, Committee.
The foregoing obituary was read by title and unanimously adopted by a rising vote at a regular meeting of the "Society of California Pioneers," held September 4th, 1905. John S. Spear, Secretary.
