General Notes: Husband - Marshall Lee Phipps
His preparatory education was obtained in the public schools of the home locality and at Clintonville Academy, after which he matriculated at Lafayette College, Easton, Pa., taking the full course. He was graduated in 1888 with the degree of A. B., and has since received the master's degree. His law studies were carried on in the office of Lee and Criswell, at Franklin, and he was admitted to practice in the courts of Venango County in 1892, later gaining admission to the Supreme and Superior courts. Though since engaged in the practice of law he has combined many other interests with his legal work, his business, professional and public responsibilities giving breadth and variety to a very busy life. His business operations have been chiefly in the production of oil, on his holdings in Venango and Lawrence counties, this State. Mr. Phipps had considerable court experience in the early part of his career, having entered the prothonotary's office at Franklin as deputy and served six years in that capacity, after which he held the office of prothonotary for a like period, by election. In 1914 he was elected to the State Senate, and on Nov. 6, 1918, was re-elected, for another term of four years, by a majority of 2,600 votes. His services in that body have been highly creditable to him personally as well as to the district which he represents.
He was honored by three governors, Stuart, Tener and Brumbaugh, with ap-pointment as trustee of the State Institution for Feeble Minded at Polk, Venango County. For fifteen years Mr. Phipps was a prominent member of the Pennsylvania National Guard, from which he retired with the rank of major, having served as major and aide de camp on the staff of Major Generals Wiley and Miller. The Republican organization in the State counts him among its most dependable workers. For one term he was chairman of the Republican County committee, and he was secretary of that body for ten years. His popularity also extends to his social con-nections, which include membership in Myrtle Lodge, No. 316, F. & A. M., of Franklin; Venango Royal Arch Chapter, No. 211; Franklin Commandery, No. 44, K. T. (he has attained the thirty-second degree in Masonry); B. P. O. Elks, and the Franklin Club. [CAB, 586]
