Millard Lipscomb Pioneer Palacios Citizen Succumbs

Millard Fillmore Lipscomb was born January 4, 1862, near Chester, Ill., the son of G. W. and Hila, nee Lewis, Lipscomb. His father was an industrious wheat farmer of southern Illinois.

As a young man he operated for several years a ferry on the Mississippi River between Chester and Rockwood, Ill. Then he operated a saw mill for four or five years which business he left to become a lumber dealer at Campbell Hill, Ill. Having amassed a substantial fortune in this business he came to Texas first in 1905, remaining for about a year near Palacios. Returning to Campbell Hill, his former home for a brief sojourn he finally came to establish his home permanently at Palacios during 1908.

Mr. Lipscomb united with the Presbyterian Church during young manhood and was identified with that congregation in Palacios early after his arrival here. He was elected a deacon on June 18, 1911, and a ruling elder in January of this year. His association with the church was one of exemplary fidelity. He will be remembered long for his faithful attendance upon all its services both morning and evening, until the ravages of his fatal illness made attendance an impossibility. He attended Sunday School and morning worship for the last time on July 21^st. He also was a faithful attendant upon the meetings of the Men’s Club of the Church being present at every meeting from its organization in November 1939 until the final meeting before the summer recess in June.

Mr. Lipscomb was married Oct. 20, 1886 near Campbell Hill, Ill., to Miss Viola Draper who survives him. Two sons and three daughters were born to this union, one son and one daughter being twins, and all of whom save one daughter, Bertha, died in infancy. Beside the widow, this daughter, Mrs. Bertha Backen, and two grandsons, Carl, Jr. and Roy Keith Backen survive. Mr. and Mrs. Backen and Keith were with him at the time of his death. Carl Jr., is in Honolulu, H. I.

Mr. Lipscomb has been closely associated with the developments that have taken place in Palacios during his long residence here. For many years he was a member of the School Board upon which he was serving at the time of the building of the Linnie Wolf School. He served also as alderman during and following the time that D. Ruthven was mayor. He was long time superintendent of water works after this utility was purchased from a private corporation. When a bond issue provided sufficient funds for the development of the water system he superintended the expansion program, building the water tower and laying new mains. He was also superintendent for a short time of the then municipally owned light plant. For many years he was a stockholder and director of the Palacios State Bank.

He was well known for his generous interest in the development of every worthy enterprise in the community. One of his latest benefactions was the enabling of the Presbyterian Church to purchase and remodel a cottage for the use of the Church as a manse or pastor’s home.

He has suffered greatly in recent years, particularly within recent weeks and passed on to the better Home at an early hour Monday morning, August 26, 1940, at the age of 78 years, 7 months, 22 days

Funeral services were conducted by his pastor, Rev. J. G. M. Ramsey, at the Presbyterian Church, Tuesday, August 27^th at 10:30 a. m. Music was rendered by the choir which sang “Crossing the Bar,” Tennyson, and by Miss Dorothy Lee Curtis who sang “The Beautiful Home of the Soul.” Mrs. C. W. Nester played the piano. The Board of deacons of which Mr. Lipscomb was so long a member served as active pall bearers, namely, H. C. Campbell, W. H. Clement, Jr., C. W. Crawford, W. C. Gray, Capt. J. W. Lipscomb, R. L. Price, D. Ruthven, R. J. Sisson. The Session t o which he was raised as a ruling elder only last January, were honorary pallbearers, namely, M. O. Burton, W. H. Clement, Sr., Chas. Harriman, L. H. Hillbert, Wm. Holliday, C. W. Nester, and E. C. Pasal.
