Regarding your request
On JOSEPH MILTON PHIPPS Auto Accident in
Questa,NM.The following
information is from the microfilm copy of "Revista
Popular De Nuevo Mexico."September
1,1925 Edition News Paper.(Popular Review of New
Mexico).Be advised
that this newspaper did not carry Obituaries as we
know them.They had what was called "Resoluciones de Condolencias
and also Defuncions,"It seems that the first one (Resolutions of Condolence) a
group of citizens would draw up a resolution that
had the information
we find in todays obituary and request the newspaper
publish it.The 2nd Defuncions (Death Notice) also looks
like an obituary but it seems to have been done by a family member.I could not
find either of the two on Joseph Milton Phipps.What
I found was a
short news story in spanish.I will translate it for
you.- - Mr.Joe Phipps a few days ago while traveling through
the town of Questa and descending the hill lost his
Equilibriumin and
the auto in which he rode overturned causing him
grave injuries so that he succumbed to his (grave) sepulcher
Friday this past week.Mr.Phipps was well known and for many years resided in
the mining camp of Red River,this county."
