Shipman  Mother -- Dora -- 1877-1913 Daughter -- Mabel O. -- 1904-1925 Dora was born Francis Isadore Line on January 11, 1877. She was the daughter of Doctor William A. Line and his second wife Mary A. (Radcliff) Young. Dora died on Ocotber 27, 1913 from gangrene which sat in a few days after a self-performed abortion. Mabel Olive Shipman was born on December 12, 1902. She died from Tuberculosis on October 20, 1924. Mabel was 21 years, 10 months, and 8 days old at the time of her death. Her tombstone dates are off, but were probably carved in the Spring of 1925, and reflects the fact that she was 21 when she died. At the time of her death Mabel was Mrs. Everett Allan, and not a Shipman. The right side of the "Shipman" stone was probably originally intended for Dora's Husband, Luther Albert Shipman. When their daughter Mabel died in 1924, Luther was already remarried to Hester (Howerton) Hicks, and is today buried at her side in Mount Lebanon Cemetery, Orange County, Indiana. |
