Medford (Oregon) Mail, Friday, 18 Jan 1901, City Happenings, p. 7, c. 1 
The funeral of Lida May, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. V. Lippincott, was held 
from the family residence Monday afternoon. Rev. Father Berthlaume, of 
Jacksonville conducted the services. He paid a high tribute to the beautiful 
character of the deceased, and the sweetness and strength of her life. Just 
stepping into womanhood, just entering the threshold of what promised a useful 
and honored career, at the very entrance of that fair field for whose delights 
and glories all her past seemed to have been a designed preparation, 
inscrutable fate had ordained a pause. No one realized the tragic pathos more 
than she, yet when her feet touched the waters of the river beyond where lies 
that undiscovered land, the glance that sought inquiringly that other shore 
was a one that held no shade of fear, realizing that she was to be wafted to a 
more congenital clime, where the soul may blossom and bloom–not as in its 
sojourn here, buffeted by the cold winds of earth–but to bloom forever in the 
soft sunshine of a brighter sphere, surrounded by the pure and sweet fragrance 
of a higher life. At the conclusion of the services a large concourse of 
sorrowing friends paid a last tribute to her, after which the remains were 
taken to the I. O. O. F. Cemetery and laid to rest in the family vault.
