CHRISTOPHER LIPSCOMB. In the language of another, “I am proud that I am an Englishman.” So say all who look to the sea-girt isle for the land of their nativity. Christopher Lipscomb was born in Oxfordshire, Eng., June 12, 1834. When young his father brought him to Scio, Washtenaw county, Mich., where his father died. He was married on Christmas, 1857, to Electa Josephine Hugg, who was born in New York. The children are Elwood, Sarah E. and Addie R. In 1876 Mr. Lipscomb came to El Dorado, Butler county, Kan., where he was engaged at different times in milling and the hotel business. He is a Mason and a member of the Knights of Honor. He is the proprietor of the only hotel in Carl Junction, where meals are served in the most approved style, and everything with decency and order.
