CHARLES D.
PHIPPS
1851-1917 |
| The son
of Daniel Phipps of England and Eliza
(Harvey) of Vermont, Charles was born in
Michigan in 1851 and was the youngest of
their nine children. He was listed as age
8 residing in White Lake, Oakland Co.,
Michigan at which time his father was
widowed, the wife Ella having died the
year before and laid to rest at White
Lake Cemetery. He was married to Ella
Gillick on 04 Jul 1874 in Wixom. At the
time the 1880 census was taken,
they were residing in the Village of
Fenton where Charles was listed as a
photographer and their housheold included
their son Charles and sister-in-law, Cora
A. Gillick. Here he continued to reside
and work as a photographer where he was
listed in 1900 with his son
Edward. In 1910, the last Federal
census for which he was enumerated, he
was listed as a retail merchant of a
music store. He was then residing alone
on Leroy street. Unfortunately his death certificate does not list an
exact date of birth. By this time Charles
had been widowed and his son Edward was
also deceased, and this vital information
evidently was not known to Mrs. L.E.
Gridler, the informant. It does, however,
indicate he died in Detroit on the 15th
of September, 1917.
