The Portland Observer, Thursday, March 4, 1915
Mrs. Len Ginnebaugh expired suddenly and very unexpectedly early Thursday 
evening at her home a mile east of Collins.  She had been in ill health all 
winter but her condition was not considered serious, and the summons came as a 
keen shock to members of the family and many friends.  The obsequies took 
place at the Collins church Sunday afternoon at 2:00 o’clock, Rev. W. H. 
Skentelbury, of Portland, officiating, and the remains were brought to this 
place for burial.

Mrs. Ginnebaugh’s maiden name was Flora Chipman.  She was a daughter of the 
late M. J. Chipman and was born May 10, 1872, while her father was serving the 
government in an official capacity at Washington, D. C.  The family returned 
to Portland when Mrs. Ginnebaugh was eight years of age and deceased had been 
a resident of this vicinity continuously since.

Twenty years ago deceased was married to Len Ginnebaugh, who with four 
children, Fred, aged 17, John, aged 9, Margaret, aged 6, and Esther, aged 4, 
survive.  There are three sisters, Mrs. Leon Williamson, of Lansing, Mrs. 
Clara Starks, of Scottsville, Mich., and Miss Ethel Chipman, of Pueblo, 
Colorado.  Mrs. Ginnebaugh’s father died in Pueblo a little more than a year 
ago and was brought to Portland for burial 

Mrs. Ginnebaugh affiliated with the Congregational church while attending 
school here years ago and was an active member of the society until the duties 
of rearing a family developed upon her.  She was of a kind and charitable 
disposition and universally admired by her neighbors.  Her death naturally is 
a matter of sincere regret.
