Biographical History of Cherokee County, Iowa
W. S. Dunbar & Co., Chigago - 1889

[page 485]

    HENRY L. PHIPPS, an intelligent and enterprising farmer of Cherokee
    Township, has been a resident of Cherokee County since early child-
    hood.  He was born at Milford, Massachusetts, May 17, 1854, and is
    a son of ALBERT PHIPPS, Esq., a prominent and widely known pioneer,
    whose biography appears on another page of this volume.  Brought up
    in a pioneer country he has many vivid recollections of the priva-
    tions and hardships endured in those early days.  He attended the
    first school in the county in the summer of 1858, which was presided
    over by Mrs. LEMUEL PARKHURST.  His youth was spent in assisting his
    father to cultivate the home farm.  In 1878 he settled on his present
    farm, which now consists of 200 acres of finely improved land.  Mr.
    PHIPPS has erected a good residence, which is attractively situated
    on a natural building site, surrounded by shade and ornamental trees;
    there are barns, cribs, and sheds, and all the conveniences for
    carrying on farming in good style.  Devoting his whole time to agri-
    cultural pursuits, Mr. PHIPPS has made a marked success, and his
    efforts have been deserving of the success with which they have met.
    He was married April 19, 1877, to Miss EMILY THOMPSON, daughter of
    HENRY and MARINTHA (WHEELER) THOMPSON, the mother being a daughter
    of DANIEL WHEELER, of Afton Township.  Five children have been born
    to Mr. and Mrs. PHIPPS: FLORENCE M., ALBERT V., CHARLES T., HOMER G.
    and BEN HARRISON.  Politically our subject adheres to the principles
    of the Republican party.  He and his wife are consistent members of
    the Adventist Church, and are among the most highly respected families
    in the community.
