CATHERINE/KATHRYN SAWYER HIPP AND HENRIETTA HIPP
(continued)
3. Nellie E. Williams, married 22 September 1916, James Lawrence Lee, according to Scott County Marriage Record Book D page 614. For whatever reason, Nellie Lee, age 24, was enumerated residing with her parents in the 1920 census.
4. Miss Lelon B. Williams married on 6 December 1917, according to Marriage Book E page 72 to the records of Scott County, Arkansas, Otis Rhoads, a brother to Silas and Lonzo. She died in 1976, and Otis Rhoads who was born in 1887, died in 1981, with both bodies being returned for burial to the Pleasant Grove # 3 Cemetery east of Waldron, Scott County, Arkansas.
c. Elmira/Elmyra H. Hipp, daughter of Holdrich and Katherine Sawyer Hipp, appears in the 1880 census in Scott County, Arkansas in the home of her Aunt Lucinda Patterson and Uncle Alvin. It is possible that Lucinda could have been a younger sister to Holdrich Hipp as she was born in 1823, or, perhaps Lucinda was an older sister to Kathryn Sawyer. Also, Lucinda could have been the reason that brought Kathryn Sawyer Hipp to Scott County, Arkansas. At any rate, Alvin Patterson was born on 26 March 1814 and died on 31 June 1888 and Lucinda Patterson was born on 2 March 1823 and died on 27 July 1902, with burial for both in the Mt. Pleasant Cemetery in Scott County, Arkansas. Alvin Patterson was enumerated as being born in Virginia as were both of his parents while Lucinda was born in North Carolina, her father born in Georgia and her mother born in North Carolina. It is interesting to note that many times Kathryn Sawyer Hipp is enumerated as having been born in North Carolina, not Mississippi.
We find that Elmyra Hipp, daughter of Kathryn Sawyer and Holdrich Hipp, who was born on 13 March 1868, at the age of 17, married William A. Farnsworth, age 28, of Greenridge, on 24 December 1885, according to Marriage Record Book A page 266, of Scott County, Arkansas. They had several children: Carol Otto Farnsworth, born on 5 Nov 1886 and died 10 Feb 1893; Conel W. Farnsworth, born in 1889; Minnie L. Farnsworth born 1890; Elva L. Farnsworth, born in 1896; Iva Deltha Farnsworth born in 1894; Earl J. Farnsworth born in 1895, Lora H. Fay Farnsworth born on 11 June 1897-died 28 June 1898; Mettie E. Farnsworth born 1903 and Elva R. "Jo Pete" Farnsworth born in 1906 and died in 1979. It is known that Conel W. Farnsworth married on 7 March 1916, Oma Eppler, from another Mt. Pleasant family [Book D page 572 Scott County Marriage Records]. Earl J. Farnsworth 22, married Nettie Gipson, 17 on 21 January 1917 [Book E page 9, Scott County AR records].
William A. Farnsworth died in 1909, at Greenridge, in Scott County, Arkansas and is buried in an unmarked grave in the Mt. Pleasant Cemetery. His son, Carl Otto and daughter, Lora H. Fay, are also buried in this cemetery. Elmyra Hipp Farnsworth Watson died near Waldron on 23 August 1942, with burial in the Farnsworth plot in the Mt. Pleasant Cemetery. However, prior to her death she married a second time to a neighbor, Mr. J. R. Watson, age 76, on 8 April 1924, according to the Marriage Records of Scott County, Arkansas Book E page 505.
William A. Farnsworth is the son of pioneer settlers from Walker County, Georgia, Thomas Jefferson Farnsworth [1830-1908] and Martha J. Self [1834-___]
11. Catherine/ Kathryn Sawyer Hipp was born in 1830, in either North Carolina or Mississippi and died after 1880 and before 1900, in Scott County, Arkansas. She is buried in the Mt. Pleasant Cemetery east of Waldron, Scott County, Arkansas, according to family tradition.
