Judge PHILIP PIPKIN 1814-1883: Judge Philip Pipkin died at his residence in Farmington, St. Francois county, Mo., Feb. 6, 1883, after a lingering illness of some weeks. Judge Pipkin was born near Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 6, 1814 and was therefore 68 years and 3 months old at the date of his death. He was a son of Col. Philip Pipkin, an officer in the volunteer service of the United States in the Indian Wars of Alabama and Tennessee. His mother was a daughter of Lester Morris, a Revolutionary soldier, who immigrated to Tennessee from Virginia just after that war. Judge Pipkin graduated at Cumberland College at the age of 20. He followed his father to Missouri, who had moved here in 1830 and began the study of law, in which profession he was eminently successful. He represented Jefferson county in the Legislature in 1840. He was a member of the Constitutional Convention that met at Jefferson City, Mo., in 1845. At the breaking out of the late war between the States he was chosen a member of the State Convention to consider the relations of the State of Missouri to the Federal Government. In 1872 he was elected Circuit Judge of the Twenty-sixth Judicial Circuit, and in 1875 was a delegate to the Constitutional Convention that framed our present constitution. He had been a member of the M. E. Church, South, for about thirty-three years, and in every position he occupied, either in Church or State, he was the same dignified, gentle Christian gentleman. A man of strict moral habits and stern Christian integrity, he died witnessing for Jesus in the full hope of a glorious immortality. He leaves a widow and several children, besides many relatives in Tennessee and Missouri, to mourn their loss. J. W. J
