Thanks to Dave Phipps who
corrected his Grandfather's birth year,
Albert Phipps was indeed born in 1873, not 1878.
Where, and when he lived in
Canada,
or at least, places that I have found-
1. Justice of the Peace, Summerberry, Sept 5, 1884
2. Qu'Appelle- 1885, came in last (5th place) in 1885 NWT election there

May 29, 1895- busy in Estevan
Looks like he might be Justice of the Peace now as well.
as he was a judge with Inspector Wilson
in a horse stealing incident.
Saturday, April 4, 1896- He was moved to Regina
with very short notice, and his family followed later.
7. Regina
retired end of 1898 in Regina
we know he ended up in Victoria, BC
and with all those British Royal connections,
I am sure was treated quite well there.
Both Charles and Susan Phipps
are buried in Ross Bay Cemetery
Fairfield Rd., Victoria BC.
In Estevan he had the First
Dominion Land Titles Office built,
corner of 12th ave and 4th st.
where the Apostolic Mission Church was.
(I have also seen corner of 12th and 3rd st in some books.)
Kohaly Law offices were located on this lot in 1980
The building was 24 ft Square.
Aug 19, 1892
Later the Land Titles Office
was later moved
to the Davies block
NW corner of 5th st and 12th ave.
Finally it was shut down and
moved to Alameda.
