Lipscomb
was born not far from Davy Crockett's Old Kentuck farm, in the Old Salem
Community, Franklin County, Tennessee on January 21, 1831. His parents were
Granville and Ann Lipscomb. He, and his older brother
William, He was a very intelligent man who was soft spoken, but greatly convicted in his beliefs. He, by far, had more influence on the churches of the south through his work in the Gospel Advocate than any other preacher of the gospel during his lifetime. He died November 11, 1917 at the age of 86. Brethren, E.G. Sewell, J.C. McQuiddy, E.A. Elam, and C.A. Moore conducted the funeral at the College Street Church. He was laid to rest in the cemetery at Mt. Olivet. Through his efforts in the Gospel Advocate and Nashville Bible School, it could be said that he was the most influential man in the Restoration Movement in the Southern United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
