Miss Lippard Succumbs Here

Miss Cora Mabel Lippard, 63, long time teacher in the Salisbury City Schools, died at the Rowan Memorial Hospital at 6:15 Sunday morning. She had been critically ill for four days following an attack suffered at her home Wednesday.

Funeral services were set for this afternoon at 3 o’clock at the Summerset Funeral Chapel. The Rev. Robert Lineberger, assistant pastor of St. John’s Lutheran Church, was to officiate and burial was to be in Oakwood Cemetery at Concord.

Miss Lippard had taught in the Salisbury schools for about 30 years. During that time she taught English at Boyden High School and served as head of the English department for some time prior to becoming dean of girls, a position which she held at the time of her death. She had also taught journalism at the high school for a number of years and during that period was advisor for the student newspaper, the Yellow Jacket, and the school annual, The Echo.

In addition to her work as teacher, advisor,  and dean, Miss Lippard had been instrumental in the preparation of several sections of a high school textbook for the teaching of English.

Miss Lippard was born July 9, 1895, in Cabarrus County, daughter of Mrs. Isla Barringer Lippard, and the late Adam J. Lippard. She was graduated at the Woman’s College of the University of North Carolina and did graduate work at Columbia University.

She was a member of St. John’s Lutheran Church where she taught the Snider Bible Class, belonged to the Twice Seven Book Club, and the Epsilon Chapter Delta Kappa Gamma Society for Teachers.

In addition to her mother, she is survived by one siter, Mrs. Luther F. Yost of Raleigh; and one nephew, Luther F. Yost Jr. of Cincinnati, Ohio.

Pallbearers at the funeral service were J. H. Knox, Derwood Huneycutt, W. S. Ludwig, J. H. Nettles, Walter Lippard, and Bill Canup.
