Sidney Eugene Quipp Birth: He was born in 1935 at the colony and was said to have been "a husky chap". Family Information:
Son of Frank and Mona Quipp. Description: Pre-Colony History: Home in Colony: The Quipp family lived on the first land cleared by colonists after their arrival in Louisiana in 1917; it was located west of the Llano cemetery. In 1935 the crops looked good -- the berries had been gathered that morning, beans looked thrifty, tomato vines loaded down with large fruit, corn yielding roasting ears and sweet potato vines that promised a good harvest. Job in Colony: Other Info: Post-Colony History: In July 1937 the family sent a postcard to Ruth Jernberg in the colony to say that they'd finally reached their destination at Spooner, Wisconsin after they'd left a month prior. Death: Sources: "Llano Colonist": February 23, 1935, June 22, 1935, July 10, 1937
