Edna Elizabeth Arnold was born in Sebewa township, September 3, 1878, and died 
May 7, 1936, aged 57 years, eight months, three days.

She was united in marriage to Frank Bippley in 1897 and to this union were born 
four children, Bertha, Fred, Dorothy and Donal.

Her early life was spent in Sebewa, Portland vicinity and Oceana county.

When sixteen years of ag she came back to this vicinity and has lived here ever 
since.

She was a kind and loving mother, always doing everything she could to benefit 
or help her children and ever willing to hear any sorrow or burden if it would 
help a friend or neighbor.

She leaves to mourn their loss, two daughter, Mrs Bertha Brooks and Mrs.Dorothy 
Warner, and one son Donal, at home. Fred preceded her in death in 1922, and her 
husband last July. She also leaves a sister Mrs.Anna VanHouten of Lake Orion and 
a brother Burt of Wisconsin.

I have found the joys of Heaven I am one of the angel band 
To my head a crown is given And a harp is in my hand,
I have learned the song they sing, Whom Jesus has made free 
And the glorious walls of Heaven shall ring, With my new born melody.
