About James Henry Phipps

According to a memorandum by Joe K. Phipps written 3 July 1998:"In the fall of 1927 Dad (John Ardis Phipps) went into a deep slump. The date can be pinned down. It is related to the flooding of the White River in Eastern Arkansas. Dad's older brother, Henry, who Dad had helped to see through Tulane, had labored for more than ten years to relieve the suffering of the stricken. Then a flu epidemic blew in. Another week. Newspapers were filled with stories about the Red Cross sending in help. One night the phone rang. Mother listened for a minute then passed the phone to my father,her lips forming the name "Henry."

"Henry?" Dad said into the phone.

He seemed to be listening for a long time. Lips working, but nothing coming out. "Next train I can get connections on," he finally managed. He hung u p, then opened his arms to Mother, bringing her in close.

"It wasn't Henry," he said at last. "Henry's dead. He just kept going and going. Until finally the flu got Henry too."

Dad left that very night for Arkansas (from Greenville TX.)
