H. K. DIPPING, the amiable and popular proprietor of the Hotel Wentworth at
Parker, was born in Prussia, Germany, December 19, 1858. When he had reached the
age of seven years his parents left the fatherland for America. The father died
on the voyage across the Atlantic and the sorrowing mother and family were left
to continue their journey alone. They landed at New York and went direct to
Allamakee county, Iowa, and there the mother too succumbed and passed to her
reward beyond the dark river. At that time our subject was but ten years of age
and he remained with his brother-in-law until thirteen years old; in the
meantime his sister died and young Dipping went to Minneapolis to work in a
flouring mill. His first occupation was as a sweeper, then he was given the care
of the purifiers and later was promoted to the position of grinder. Finishing
the milling trade he came to Sanborn county, Dak. Ter., in 1887 and bought a
grist mill which he carried on for two years, then sold out and went to
Washington territory. From the northwest he came to Parker, Dak. Ter., and
engaged in the hotel business, first renting his present location which he
bought in 1896. He conducts a first-class hostelry in every respect and in
connection with same runs a livery for the accommodation of his guests. Mr.
Dipping was married September 11, 1887, to Miss Lena Ziegelmier, a native of
Winneshiek county, Iowa. Politically he supports the principles interpreted by
the Republican party and strongly adheres to them. He belongs to the Masonic
fraternity at Parker, of which he was at one time reasurer, [sic] and to the M.
W. A. order of the same place.
