Detached Jane Breeden as mother of John Lipscomb - see 2nd paragraph of his obituary. - This is wrong. His half brothers were sons of Ann Lipscomb, Granville Sr.'s first wife. John's mother WAS Jane Breeden.

John was born in 1838. He was the son of Granville Lipscomb and unknown mother. He passed away in 1933.

The death of John Lipscomb, aged ninety-five years, on May 10, at his home at Bean's Creek, Franklin County, Tenn., removed from this earth a Christian gentleman of long experience and commanding influence. Many of us had been hoping and praying that Uncle John would round out the century mark, especially since he was unusually active and energetic during his declining years. Uncle John was a man of varied interests and succeeded where many another less courageous soul would have failed. To say that his kins people are proud of his record by no means expresses the depth of love and gratitude that lingers in our hearts today. As a soldier in the Confederate army, he was brave and fearless and carried at least one mark of valor to his grave; as a farmer and business man, he was diligent in business, earning the respect of rich and poor alike; as a Christian and leader in his local congregation, he was faithful and loyal, giving freely of his means and ever interested in the spread of the gospel. Always modest in demeanor, uniformly cheerful in disposition, and thoroughly conscientious in his dealings with his fellow men, he won the respect and admiration of all who knew him.

The deceased was a half brother to David and William Lipscomb, the original owners and editors of the Gospel Advocate. He was a full brother to the late H. G. [Horace Greeley Lipscomb] Lipscomb, the hardware merchant, and to my lamented father, Granville Lipscomb. Uncle John was twice married the first time, September 4, 1863, to Miss Sally Ann Smith of Franklin County; in 1906, several years after the death of his first wife, he married Miss Anna Laura Stubblefield of Viola, Tenn. Besides his widow, he is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Lou Woods of Chattanooga and Mrs. Ellen Gardner of Birmingham. In addition, there are four sons, three daughters, and seventeen grandchildren, who mourn his loss. Funeral services were conducted from the family residence by Brother F. B. Srygley and my brother, Horace Lipscomb of Nashville.
