November 4, 1850, to Cornelia, daughter of Hon. E. S. Good¬ 
rich, then secretary of state under Governor William Bigler. 
Of this marriage were horn Annie, wife of Hon. E. S. Tomlin, 
of Los Angeles, California, who died March 19. 1897; Bose 
W., now wife of J. K. Anderson, Milwaukee, Wis.; Charles 
Goodrich, M. D., now of Ely, Minnesota ; William V., of Ban¬ 
gor, Michigan; and Cornelia, of Chicago. Mrs. Shipman died 
at Madison, February 27, 1870. Colonel Shipman was mar¬ 
ried again at Chicago, in 1880, to Mrs. Mary Townsend Tow¬ 
ers, who survives him. 
Colonel Shipman was a most distinguished example of the 
power of the mind over the body and of its triumph over out¬ 
ward circumstances. From the hour he received his last serious 
wound, not a day passed but he experienced pain. Yet uncom¬ 
plainingly and with marked success he carried on his varied 
and important work for forty years.
