SHIPWAY, T. F.

From the Adams County Press, Saturday Jan 20, 1894, Page 5

Died--SHIPWAY--At his home in Big Flats, Adams county, Wisconsin, January
5, 1894, T. F. SHIPWAY.

Deceased was born March 27, 1810 in Gloucestershire, England, and came to
America in 1850, residing first in Waukesha county, then he became one of
the pioneers of the northern part of Adams county, where he remained until
his death. Father SHIPWAY, with his wife, became a member of the Wesleyan
church in early manhood, and on coming to this country united with the M.E.
Church, and ever remained true and faithful to its principles, and by his
faithful, consistent, Christian life developed a maturity and stability of
character worthy of the high esteem in which he was held by those who knew
and loved him. His first wife and eight of their eleven children preceded
him to the "land beyond the tide". His second wife and a granddaughter
tenderly and faithfully watched and cared for him in his last sickness,
while he gradually and peacefully sank to rest, and passed to his reward.
Funeral sermon was by Rev. John Ford, Text, Job 5:26.
