Charles Henry Whippo, farmer and stock-raiser, was born in Monroe County, N. 
Y., May 22, 1830, the eldest son of John and Sarah M. (Lawrence) Whippo, and 
when five years of age came with his parents to Wayne County, Ind. They made 
the journey in a wagon and located near Dublin. He was reared on a farm. His 
early education was obtained in the common school, but he subsequently took up 
the study of the higher branches, including languages. After reaching his 
majority he assisted in laying out the Indiana Central Railroad, following 
surveying one year. He then was engaged in the agricultural implement business 
as salesman, and subsequently was employed on the railroad three years. Jan. 
3, 1856, he was married to Matilda, daughter of Robert S. and Rachel Preston, 
and in March, 1856, moved to Clay County, where he remained eight years, 
engaged in farming and selling agricultural implements for the Wayne 
Agricultural Implement Company, of Dublin. In August, 1864, he returned to 
Wayne County, and bought his present farm in New Garden Township, consisting 
of 146 acres of well-improved land. Mr. and Mrs. Whippo have had seven 
children---Louie L., Carrie E., Edmund L., Maria M., James H., Anna P., and 
Mattie P. The latter died at the age of thirteen years. Mr. Whippo and his 
family are members of the Society of Friends.
