General Notes: Husband - Tolbert T. Shipley

---

He received his early education at the primitive log schoolhouses of the day, with no floor, puncheon seats and greased paper windows. Their first instruction was given from a paddle upon which some of the more simple characters were inscribed.

He resided on the old family farm three years after marriage, then lived in Carroll County, Ohio, four years, finally returning to the home place, and in 1876 settled in Burgettstown, Washington County.
As no children blessed their union, they took as their own a niece, Martha Pyles, who married Capt. J. R. Day. After her marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Shipley took a boy named Pressby. Later they took a young girl named Agnes Bell, who remained with them until her marriage.
Politically, Mr. Shipley was first a Whig and then a Democrat. In religion he was a member of the Presbyterian Church at Burgettstown.
