• Notes

  THE GOLIAD GUARD JULY, 1883 Death of Judge Mathew T. Tippen Another land mark has been swept away in the demise of the subject of this article. Judge Tippen accompanied by his wife went to Wise county on a visit, and died very suddenly in Decatur on the 19th of July, 1883, in the 77th year of his age. He was a native of South Carolina and came to Texas in 1845, settling on the San Antonio river, in Goliad county, where he lived until 1873, when he invested in lands in Wise county and lived there several years. He enjoyed to a large extent the confidence and esteem of the people amongst whom he lived, having filled the important office of Chief Justice of Goliad county to which position he was chosen previous to the civil war. He was a man of many good traits of character, and leaves many old friends who deplore his death. His aged wife survives him, and he leaves many relatives in Goliad to whom the Guard would extend its sympathy in their bereavement.
