“Traveling the road of life creates many memories…memories that lives forever in the minds and hearts of those whose lives were touched during the journey and when the journey on earth is completed, we find peace in the belief that a new and better journey begins.”
Mr. Emanuel Gipson and his twin brother, Nathaniel, Sr., was born on July 26,1933, in Summerton S.C. to the late James Scott and Katie Gipson Oliver. He was reared by his maternal grandparents, the late Harpher and Josephine Symthe Gipson.

He attended St. Paul School, and after serving sometime in the US Army, he moved to Washington D.C. where he gained employment at the Bureau of Engraving.
