Hi there! Hope some of the info in here is some help for somebody.
Oren Tippy
Mary Isabel Carder
They left us within nine months of each other: she on Wednesday morning, July 15, 1925; he on Monday night, April 12, 1926. Each had been ill but a comparatively short while after a long life of great physical strength and activity. She died in her 86th year, he in his 84th. She never gave up housekeeping, and he never wholly retired from business. He ran the mill in the spring of 1925 when he was 83, and he was not sure that he might not do it again in the spring of 1926. He drove his automobile until two months before his death and was an ardent and skillfull driver for a man his age. She love to ride with him and was never afraid. They drove about the pleasant countryside south and east of Lake Michigan, and for longer distances to see the children or to visit friends and relatives, as for example to Cleveland, Ohio and Big Rapids and Jackson, Michigan. Their friends in New Carlisle delighted to see them going about together like young people, manifestly having a good time; and their children were willing that they should take chances to keep the adventure of life. When the doctor forbade him to drive any longer (it was after she had gone), he would still take the wheel through town and turn the car over to Mrs. Barnes when they reached the open country.
In later years and until within two or three years of thier death they traveled a great deal. They developed a wanderlust to which they could never indulge themselves when the children were growing. They kept the home at New Carlisle because their hearts were there and for the sake of the children who loved to come back to them. He had an extensive business trip to Mexico for the Warren-Chamberlain interests to estimate and advise on the purchase of a large tract of timber. They spent several winters in Florida, Biloxi, Mississippi, and Southern California with the Augustines and Thackeries, until death finally broke up the little circle of friends.
It is a coincidence also that they were born within a few miles of each other, near Westerville, in Franklin County, Ohio; she on July 13, 1841; he on November 8, 1842. But they never knew one another in Ohio. Their parents came to Indiana when they were little children. When a boy, while Illinois was still a frontier state, his father trekked to Charleston in a covered wagon but soon came back to Whitley County, Indiana. There the family settled permanently. Her father was a lumberman, his a farmer. They met first as young people at Carder's Siding, a half mile north of Summit, Indiana, and eleven miles east of Winona, where as a young man he got his training in her father's mill.
But, although engaged, they were not married until the Civil War was over. He and her favorite Archie, were in the army of the Cumberland. Archie was killed at Chickamuga and is buried in the military cemetery at Chattanooga. This was one of the tragedies of her early life. Her aged mother, until her death, April 25, 1888, lived under the illusion that he was alive and would come back. Father was with Sherman on the Atlanta campaign and got as far as Dalton, Georgia. But he was taken with typhoid and was carried to the base hospital at Baltimore. After recovery and because of his skill in nursing he was retained as a hospital orderly until his discharge. He was a natural nurse and took care of the children at nights when they were ill. We always felt comforted and safe when Father got home and came to our bedsides.
The Civil War came to an end in the spring of 1865, and they were married in the autumn, on the fifteenth of October. By this time, although only 24, he had become head sawyer in her father's mill. They began housekeeping in the little mill hamlet in a hewed log house. She kept it immaculately clean and always recollected it with pride and happiness, especially the ashen floors. Here their first child, Worth Marion, was born on his father's birthday, November 8, 1866, and their second son, Bruce Owen, March 7, 1868. Why should she not remember it? The house, the mill, her mother's home and other buildings at Carder's Siding are all gone, long ago. They were but temporary structures in a new land. The hamlet of Summit also, a half mile south, has vanished except for two or three old farmhouses and the graveyard where her father, Joshua Carder, lies. One of these houses on the Tippecanoe highway, a half mile east of Summit, is finished and paneled in black walnut which was sawed at her father's mill 70 years ago.
They moved, four years after their marraige, from Carder's Siding to the farm of her sister Lucinda's husband, Joseph Davis, four miles east of Walkerton, near the B & O Railroad, where he leased his brother-in-law's mill and bought a farm. The house and mill, no longer existent, lay in an adjoining field just beyond the orchard to the north and east. Here their first daughter, Dora May, was born on March 11, 1870.
From the Davis mill they moved in 1870 to Puddletown, five miles southwest of New Carlisle, on the edge of Puddletown Lake, where for a year he took charge of another mill. Then for five years he owned and operated a mill in the South Woods, at the headwaters of the Kankakee River, ten miles southwest of South Bend. Here thier third son, Frederick Alverne, was born on October 8, 1873. Although near to civilization and on a trunk line railroad, the South Woods was a wild tract of land. The old trail followed by La Salle across the portage between the St. Joseph River and the Kankakee, passed near by, along the Grapevine. Father one day brought in a deer from the marshes, and at another time came in with a wild turkey slung across his shoulder.
From the South Woods, the family moved to Buchanan, Michigan. Here Father formed a partnership with Samuel Miller and began the manufacture of broom handles. During a part of the year that they lived in Buchanan, he operated the Hicks water mill north of Rolling Prarie, Indiana, and was away two or three weeks at a time. His absences were a new experience for the little family. The older children have momories here. There were first expieriences with town school Mother read to them of evenings while Father was away. The older boys had what was for them a wonderul adventure. They went one time with Father what seemed a long, long way and spent a week with him about the water mill, with its winding mill race, it's grinding turbine and the rushing water of the tail race. They saw the race emptied for the fish that were in it, and joined in the excitement of the catch. The broom handle factory at Buchanan was not successful but Father and Mr. Miller learned the business, which was the main point, and they closed out the factory in time to save most of their capital.
Their next move, late in the autumn of 1875, was to Maple Grove, Indiana, nine miles southwest of Buchanan, four miles southeast of Three Oaks, and six miles northwest of new Carlisle. It proved to be a fortunate business venture. The new firm of Tippy and miller built a sawmill and broom handle factory. They bought a tract of virgin forest which yielded better than they had figured. The good timber from the whole countryside - and there was sill much left - was brought to the mill by the farmers suring the next four years. The family home was in Michigan, set in a grove of maple trees - the mill just over the line in Indiana. Back of the house was an open meadow with original forest on two sides. The Valentine farm, of which it was a part, had fine old orchards and frontier memories. A stream ran through the farm, and there were ruins of and old water mill with an interesting wooden turbine built about the lower end of a long upright rounded timber. The stream ran through a lovely little valley shut in by hills which to the children was an enchanted playground. Here their fourth son, Charles Wesley, was born March 6, 1876. The three older children went to school, usually to the Maple Grove school across the line in Indiana. But one memorable term they walked two and one-half miles to the Spring Creek school in Michigan, over towards Three Oaks, where Mary Chamberlain left the impress of her culture upon them. The way to the school was long, but it was springtime, and the walk coming and going was a glorious play time.
They were a happy family at Maple Grove. All were well, the business prospered and the children and good teachers. The little girl trudged to school with her brothers and became the lifelong comrade of her mother. They boys fished and swam in the creek, played in teh wods, worked about the house and the mill, and roamed over farms and orcherds. They gathered berries each August and walnuts in the autumn, and they and their favorite dog hunted wild creatures, expecially woodchucks, to their great excitement. They found an old Indian trail beside the stream with the blackened stones of an ancient camp fire still in place. They knew bee trees and watched the flight of wild geese as winter approached. Their dog caught a mink by the streamside. They lay on a mass of wild grapevines on the top of big trees in the summer sunshine. They went to Sunday school and church in the little Maple Grove country church. It was a beautiful white church set on a hill in the midst of maple trees. They lived in this charming rural environment during their most impressionable years, and escaped the distractions and temptations of the towns.
Finally, in the autumn of 1880, Tippy and Miller sold the mill at Maple Grove and bought the Ewers mill at new Carlisle. In consisted of a saw mill and planing mill, and had large unused space in a two story building adjoining the saw mill. The second story and a part of the first were transfomed into a planing mill and broom handle factory, and the boys made a shop of their own in the attic story. Then began a scene of great activity, on a comparitively small scale, it is true, but nevertheless stirring, which lasted until the timber was exhausted. Every winter the mill yard and adjoining lots and streets were piled high with logs brought in by farmers. There were long ranks of basswood bolts to be cut into broom handle squares. A half million broom bandles were manufactured yearly. The squares were cut in the spring, the handles turned during the late spring and summer. For two or three winters the saw mill was run at night, at the height of the season, to relieve the congestion of logs. It was an authentic factory experience for the boys. Before it was over they could be trusted to buy and sell lumber. They knew the grades. They could do anything in the mill, except possibly to take carge of it, or to head saw. They learned to work with men, to direct men, to know the value of money, and to respect manual work.
Father always managed the mill and did the head sawing himself except when there was a night shift. Mr. Miller bought and sold lumber, measured logs, and kept the books. Father was a skillful manager of men, fair to them and one with them in work. He could always cut two or three thousand feet more a day than any sawyer he could get, and yet not work the men as hard. He devised labor saving and automatic machines which came into use in the industry but which he never patented. The demand would not be large enough, he thought, and he was not willing to divide his energies. He would turn logs round and round in sawing to get clear boards, and knew instantly what kind of lumber a log was good for. His setter understood him so well that no time was lost in these operations. The carraige was quickly reversed when it had returned past the saw. He could not afford to let other men do his head sawing because lumber runs quickly into money, and the profits of the business depended largely on his knowledge and skill. Probably nobody in northern Indiana new lumber or standing timber better than he. His work was so accurate and his grades so honest and dependable that his broom bandles and lumber always commanded a premium on the market. Dr. Jared Drollinger, who still lives a mile of Soiuxtown, and who remembers seeing the teams pass which moved the family from the Davis mill to Puddletown in 1870, said that Father "was the best mill man we have ever had in this country. He could outwit any man we had with the saw." He would undertake anything in the mechanics of the mill, was ready for any emergencies, and was afraid of nothing in the hazards of boiler, engine, swiftly revolving saws, flying belts and sometimes violent men.
He seemed absolutely devoid of jealousies and resentments in dealing with men. He occaisionally had trouble with one of his most valuable workers, who came with him from Maple Grove to New Carlisle, but he always kept him, always was fair to him, and always generous. When "Uncle Sammy" Miller died in 1883, Father bought his interest from Mrs. Miller and managed the entire business during the rest of his life. He was as successful in handling Mr. Miller's duties as he had been in his own. He would have accumulated a considerable property had ther been sufficient timber. He had the ability to manage a much greater industry, although he lacked training in accounting and finance. As it was, he was able to send the children to college and to provide a competence for the home. His only serious losses were through one or two builders, a bank failure which involved him to a limited extent, and a mercantile enterprise in 1896 which he was obliged to entrust to others. This latter, the Davis clothing store, was a considerable drain upon his resources and the one trying business experience of his life. He and Mr. Miller were ideal partners. Both were honest and capable and each supplemented the other. They never quarreled, and were deeply attached to each other and mutually appreciative. Mr. Miller's early death was a personal sorrow, and he always referred to him with affection.
For fifteen years, the family had lived about New Carlisle. When at last they settled down in the little town, it was for Father and Mother to live there the rest of thier lives and there to end their days. They came in 1880 and died in the same village forty-five years later. Here their youngest child and second daughter, Jessie Maude, was born on September 8, 1882. Here they saw all of their children grow to maturity, marry and establish homes of their own.
At first the family lived in the Ewers house, on the west side of the mill proplerty, at the bottom of the hill. Here the children really grew up. They had abundance of room , a sawdust pile, machinery, tools, lumber to saw and hammer, a garden to keep, the boys so much work at the mill and the girls so much at home, that they were kept from the streets. Later they had horses, a boathouse at Hudson Lake with canoe, row boats, tackle, traps, guns and dogs. In those days, Father patented and manufactured a bow-facing oar. It was an admirable mechanism for hunting and fishing, as one could face forward, while rowing, but the demand was not great enought to justify quantity production. But it was probably responsible for the fine boats that were given the boys. They will never forget Fred Smith, the boat-builder and hunter, and Joe Carl, the fisherman, who spent many of this evenings and weekends at the lake. No girls were ever closer to a mother, or were more carefully trained for a woman's tasks and duties, or more loyally rewarded a mother's love. The boys always worked, but they were paid for work and never kept out of school. They were under discipline, yet they were free. There was always time for play and facilities for play, and as a rule they were satified at home. Surely few children ever had a more favorable environment, except possibly for better schools and a longer cultural background.
Father always helped Mother in the house and with the care of the children, and the boys were taught to help in the home. None of us remmeber harsh words to her from him. He seemed to have tireless strength and exhaustless devotion. A mill is often a dreadul place for obscene language. His boys hever heard him swear or use vulgar language. He was instinctively respectful and chivalrous towards women. Mother had a great deal to do with this. She had a refined spirit, was absolutely devoted to her children, and as tireless in work as he and as unselfish. They worked together and sacrificed together. He called her "Mary", and often, as if old memories were in his mind, "Molly". She called him "Owen" intead of "Oren". She was an exceptional cook, and although she usually had a maid she did most of the cooking herself. The children will never forget that. There was always a jar of cookies or doughnuts usually hidden away but findable, and a mother who understood a child's insatiable appetite.
As a citizen of the little community, Father was public spirited and stood for good schools and the best things. Mother paid little attention to the outside world in the earlier years except as it came to her door. Grandfather Tippy was a War Democrat and he and Father could not agree on politics. Fater cast his first vote for Lincoln. That settled him as a lifelong Republican, except that for a while he was a prohibitionist, and later a Progressive with Roosevelt. But he was always independent and had the spirit and outlook of the reformer. He gave ardent support for fifty years to the temperance movement. He believed in equality between the sexes long before women were given the suffrage. But his heart was in religion and the life of the mind. Neither of them had much opportunity for education. They knew this very well but it never intimidated them. Father educated himself as best he could, first in mechanics and management in his mills, then by books and peridicals through a lifelong habit of serious reading. She read little except as he read to her until in later years when her children were grown. He and Mother determined early that whatever else was done their children should have educational opportunity, and all of them were sent to high school and college. Worth, Bruce and Dora went to dePauw, Worth also to Cornell and bruce to Rose Polytechnic, Fred to Valparaiso, Charles to Purdue, Jessie to Michigan and Harper Hospital, Detroit. The wisdom of this policy and the justification of their sacrifices brought happiness to their latter years.
They were both turned to religion in a vevival meeting conducted by Rev. J. B. Stull at Maple Grove, Indiana, in the winter of 1878. It was an event of first importance to their lives. He went to the altar night after night, in the old Methodist custom, but got no satisfactory experience. Finally Mr. Stull, who was a wise as well as a good pastor, advised him "to join the church and leave it to the Lord to give him whatever experience he saw fit." This advice was followed and from that moment, during the 48 years which followed, there was no wavering in either of them. Mother never seemed troubled with doubts. Heaven seemed about her, near and sheltering. She seemed to walk naturally in the presence of God in purity of soul. Thier home became a place of faith and prayer. Family prayers could not escape being conventional and more or less irksome to restless children, but they were held. Religion was both routine and inspiration. They were strict. They shared in the limitations of tradional religion, but they were human and full of the zest of life, and their children's memories are stored with happy days.
Father and Mother became stanbys of the Methodist Episcopal church in New Carlisle. They were generous givers and were interested in forward-looking policies. He was at one time or another and over a long period of years steward, trustee, class leader, usher, Sunday school superintendent, district steward and lay representative at the Northwest Indiana Conference. They were friends of the ministers and their home was always open to them and their families. When her children were growing, Mother was always at church, at least at morning service, but never much of a worker. She gave herself undividedly to her home and children, possibly too exclusively for her own good, and went to church to worship with her family about her. When they were grown and had gone away, she became active in the women's societies of the church.
Seldom do husband and wife live so long and happily together. They were well mated. They were strong. They and a common faith. They were idealistic. They had a large family. They worked very hard. They were absorbed in lifelong devotions. These made their home strong and wholesome, and largely compensated for lack of the cultural opportunities which were denied them.
They never knew sorrow in their own family circle. They had their children about them or saw them frequently as long as they lived, and they shared in the pride and joys of sixteen grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. The first break in the family circle was Mother's death. Worth was absent in Europe, with Zella Margaret and William Bruce, when she died. Jessie was not able to be with either Mother of Father at the last. It was a great grief to her but was understood. Until her own illness, she always came home to nurse them in serious sicknesses. Every member of the family, those who married into it an the grandchildren, were devoted to them. Dora became the companion of their later years. Their two homes were as one in daily contacts and service. Dora's children were in and out as their own children had been. She alone was with Mother when she died, late at night, and she was the only one of the children with Father at the end. Mrs. Barnes, their housekeeper, gave singularly devoted care, first to the two of them when Mother was no longer able to direct the home; and then to Father, who at the last was a lonely and weary man.
The two were laid beside each other in the village cemetery: she at two o'clock on the afternoon of July 17, 1925; he on Wednesday afternoon, April 14, 1926. They were each buried from the home in which they had lived. Her service was conducted by the pastor, Rev. S. P. Reakes, assisted by Rev. N. E. Tinkham and Rev. J. W. Neill. She was borne from the house by her sons, sons-in-law and grandsons. His services were conducted by the Pastor, Rev. C. V. Bigler, assisted by Rev. Edwin W. Dunlavy, D.D., pastor of Roberts Park Methodist Episcopal Church, Indianapolis, and old friend of the family and son of the late Rev. H. H. Dunlavy, a former pastor and intimate personal friend. The Masonic service was read at the grave, the pastor acting as assistant to the Chaplain, and Brother Masons serving as pall bearers. The singers were a quartette of men, old friends, let by Mr. J. G. Miles. The house was filled with older citizens of the town and countryside, some of whome had known him for fifty years.
Surely, "they were lovely and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided."
Genealogical Information
It has not been possible as yet to trace back the line of descent on either side very far. This much is known.
The Tippys came from Pennsylvania to Ohio, near Westerville, early in teh last century. They were "Pennsylvania Dutch", presumably coming originally from the Palatinate on the upper Rhine, adn therefore German, although they may have been refugees from France following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. The name is spelled in various ways, Tippy, Tippey, Tippie and prebably Tippe. They were probably eithteenth century immigrants coming to America from Germany by way of Antwerp or Rotterdam.
Oren Tippy's father was Elias Tippy, born Nov. 29, 1818, died 1901; his mother Celestia Lane, born june 14, 1818. They were farmers. He was a church member, she was not. His father was Conrad Tippy, who came from Pennsylvania. Conrad's wife was Mary Mullen. They came to Ohio about 1824. Their parents died in Pennsylvania, but no information about them is available.
