On the 14th day of July 1927 God saw fit in his wisdom to call Bro. G. G.
CHIPMAN from his earthly home to a better one in Heavan. Bro. CHIPMAN was
born Dec. 30th 1845 near Moscow, Kemper County, Miss. He with his parents moved
to this county on the where he spent his life from early youth until
death claimed the victory. In Oct 1867 he was married to Miss Emily D.
PORTIS. To this union was born 4 sons, two of which preceeded him to their
reward and 2 are now living, J. M. CHIPMAN & H. E. CHIPMAN, who were both
with him in his last days. He joined the New Hope Baptist Church (now
Neshoba Baptist Church) in 1881 and remained a faithful member until death. In
Aug 1907 he was married a second time to Mrs. Josephine HARPER WATKINS, who was
left to mourn his death. Bro. CHIPMAN was a true faithful and patient
Christian who bore his afflictions without a murmur. For 12 months he was
confined to his room and bed without complaining or murmuring. He was a
friend at all times to all people and all things that stand for the right and a
man to be missed by his many friends. Be it Resolved. 1st that a
copy of this be spread upon the minutes of Church, second That a copy be given
to the family, 3rd. Signed: B. H. WALTON, L. P. WILSON, C.M.McCRAW.
