GRANT LIPPINCOTT

ONE of the well known newspaper men of Western Kansas, and one who is always
working for the interests of his paper and the town in which it is published is
Grant Lippincott, publisher and proprietor of the Pawnee Hock Herald. Grant, as
he is bast known, was born in Atchison County, Kansas, February 7, 1884; his
father being J. H. Lippincott who had a great deal to do with making the history
of Grant's home county until 1893 when he went to Oklahoma where he now resides.
Grant came to Barton County in 1904 and established the paper known as the
Herald, in Pawnee Rock and since that time has taken an active part in the
affairs of his town and county. He learned the printing trade in Hutchinson
where he spent four years as an employee of the Hutchinson News. He is an expert
printer, a brilliant writer and stands for the principles which he thinks are
best for the majority. He was married September 2, 1908, to Miss Myrtle L. Woelk
whose parents live seven miles southeast of Pawnee Rock and are old timers of
that section of the state.

  Grant and his wife are naturally proud of their twin boys, Virgil Alvus and
Wilbur Alfred. They were born August 25, 1910, and are children of whom anybody
could be proud. Mr. Lippincott has been a member of the city council and has
also served the town as clerk for two terms. He is a prominent member of the
Masonic order, and belongs to the lodge at Larned. He is also a member of the
Great Bend Lodge of Elks, is a Knight of Pythias and a member of the Yeoman
lodge. He is an enterprising and progressive citizen and took an active part in
the work that finally resulted in having Pawnee Rock, or what remains of it, in
1912, preserved as a historic point en the old Santa Fe Trail. Since he came to
Pawnee Rock he has done a greut deal to further the interests of the town not
only through the columns of his newspaper but by his personal efforts.
