General Notes: Husband - Abel W. Shipe

---

He had but few educational opportunities in his youth and in large measure became a self-educated man. He early started to work on his father's farm and when eighteen years of age was capable of judging and buying stock as advantageously as old men in the business. For many years he devoted a large portion of his effort to dealing in livestock; in later years, however, he engaged exclusively in farming.
He and his wife were active members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which Mr. Shipe was a trustee for twenty years or more. He was never much concerned about political matters and never accepted any office but that of school director, in which he served for two terms.
