JUDGE W. E. LIPSCOMB DEAD
Judge W. E. Lipscomb, aged 78 years, died at his home at Manassas Sunday, after an illness of two weeks.
Judge Lipscomb is survived by his wife and three sons, W. N. Lipscomb and Philip Lipscomb, of Manassas, and Charles E. Lipscomb, of Plainfield, N.J., and two daughter, Mrs. Ella Weedon and Mrs. F. E. Garrison.
Judge Lipscomb was born in Brentsville, Va. At the age of 14 he entered the clerk's office of Prince William county, as an assistant. In 1861 he was elected clerk. Under the advice of Col. Eppa Hunton, he resigned his commission of lieutenant in the Confederate army to take chare of the office, in which he remained until shortly before he was elected judge of the county court in 1882. He remained upon the bench until the judgeship was abolished in 1904.
In 1904 he again entered the clerk's office as deputy clerk and later became clerk.
In 1859 he married Miss Henrietta Holland.
(Judge William Edward Lipscomb is buried in Manassas Cemetery beside his wife.)
