Nippert came from the south of France, at an early time, and their
descendants finally removed northward to what is now, Alsace, where our
subject was born, Aug. 21, 1832; he was named for his father, who was a
son of Henry Nippert; his mother was Elizabeth Herman, who gave birth
to eight children, but two of the number ever came to America. The first
adventurer was George M., who came in 1839, and is now a practicing
physician in New Brighton, Penn., of the Homeopathic school; Philip left
the "father-land" in 1850, when a lad of eighteen; came first to
Pennsylvania, where he learned his trade at Pittsburgh and New Brighton;

cast his lot with the people of Paris, and has since remained; he first
set up in business opposite the postoffice, next door to the livery
stable West, where he continued until 1868, when he located where he now
resides and carries on his bakery, confectionery and ice business; he
