Black and white photograph of Cordelia Eldridge Shipman and James D. Shipman. Mr. Shipman was born on October 6th, 1822 in Hadley, MA and lived in Amherst, MA until he was twenty years old. Mrs. Shipman was born on May 6th, 1827 in Ashfield, MA and died on February 26th, 1905. The two married on November 24th, 1853 and moved to Worthington on May 1st, 1880. They had three children - Jennie (born in Amherst, died December 20th, 1874), Nellie C. (b. April 28th, 1863, Goshen), and Alice (b. August 6th, 1865, Goshen). Nellie taught in the West Worthington School (see item Ph101m) and Alice married Perley Skelton. See item 2021-154 for a photo of their house. There is a hat behind Mr. Shipman, in the background of the photo (perhaps removed for the photo) and Mrs. Shipman holds what appears to be a catalog or serial. The couple is featured in The South Worthington Parish by Rev. George Reed Moody (1905), in the chapter titled, 'People Over Seventy in Our Parish September 1, 1903,' page 97, plate XIII, #10-11.
