Thomas Shipley was born in England Oct. 14, 1845; came here with, his parents 
when eleven weeks old, settled at Rochester, NY Y., at which place he stayed 
until 35 or 40 years ago when he came to Clearfield where he spent the 
remainder of his, dying Feb. 19, 1915, aged 69 years, 4 months and 5 days. On 
June 11, 1884, he was united in marriage to Emma C. Barger, of this place. To 
this union, eight children were born. When Mr. Shipley first came to 
Clearfield, he was engaged in the nursery business, but later took up painting 
and papering, which he followed until the time of his death, which was due to 
cancer of the stomach, from which he had been ailing over a year. He was a man 
of a very rugged constitution having served as a soldier the full time of
the Civil war, a man of good character, a genial disposition and an upright 
citizen and one who had a host of friends. He leaves to mourn the loss of a 
loving husband and father, a widow and the following children:  Mrs. J. A. 
Ritter, of Madera; Mrs. S. J. Mann, of Clearfield; Frank, Clark and Earl, at 
home; Lewis, William and Ella having preceded him to the grave.  The funeral 
was held from his late home on Nichols street on Sunday, Feb. 21, undertaker 
Leavy having charge of the funeral. Revs. Salter and Hummel officiating. The 
pallbearers were Messrs. Austin Haney, Miles Zimmerman, Jacob Shimmel,
McClellan Rowles, William Boyce and Woodward Wyrant.

Additional Comments:
Mr. Michaels.  I'm not sure if I sent this obit or not.  I looked in the 
PaUSGenWebArchives, but I couldn't find it, so I am resending it.  Thanx for 
putting all of these obits into the archives for me.  Sharon
