It is a difficult task to outline in a few paragraphs even the most important fea The tures of a noble and useful life. real history must at best be left largely to the imagination, we can only point out the mile stones. The truest histories are recorded on the unwritten pages of life's annals, so we give but a faint glimpse of the subject oi this sketch. Dr. Shipp is the eldest daughter of William F. and Anna Reynolds, and was born in Davis County, Iowa, January 20, 1847, and came to Utah in her early childhood with her parents, who settled in Pleasant Grove, Utah County, where she was reared a child of nature amid the wilds of our then desert inland country, posse sing few advantages of education, but her eager soul thirsting for knowledge reached out beyond all the meager possibilities of her girlhood, and she acquired an education enjoyed by ' very few in those early days of toil and hardship. On May 5th, 1866, she was married to Milford B. Shipp, a man of learning and intelligence, who at once recognized her talents and marked out for her a literary career, wnen tne niotner ot nve cnuaren, and with the grand predominating characteristic of motherhood thoroughly awakened by a desire ior the higher development of her growing family, she bravely looked into the new, and then unpopular sphere of labor for women, and undertook the study of medicine; having been a most devoted wife and mother, it required a great effort to leave her home and young children, but realizing the benefits which must follow the separation, not only to them and herself, but to many others, she overcame her tender longings for home and the hearthstone for the good she might do, and in 1875 became the second woman in Utah attempting to master the seience of medicine and entered the Wonum's Medical College of Pennsylvania. Dr. Shipp has proved that the "tender-es- t are the bravest." While ardently engaged in her studies at college she passed through, with proud and faithful resignation, the hopeful and anxious period of motherhood and gave birth to a beautiful daughter, nor did the love and care for the child hinder in any way the progress of the mother's studies, but on the contrary the new joy but enhanced the pleasure of college life and practically relieved the lonely from all other loved ones. heart, In 1 888 Dr. Shipp not only obtained her degree, but also received the highest compliments and recommendations from the pro fessors, and ever since graduating has been an undaunted, persistent worker in her and is also very popular, especially her patients, for her beautiful symamong pathetic bearing consoles the suffering one, and dignity while her great confidence in her most perfect gives one the ability.
