C. C. Lips

Charles C. Lips (ca. 1835–1888), also known as C.C. Lips, was a member of the Los Angeles Common Council from the First Ward in 1877–78.

Lips was born in Stuttgart, Kingdom of Württemberg, about 1835 and "took his own life in a moment of insanity" in Napa, California, on August 4, 1888.^[1]^[2]

Lips, who was noted as "one of the substantial men of the city," came to L.A. from Philadelphia and worked as the manager of E. Martin & Co., a wholesale liquor house in the Baker Block. His wife's name was Mary E., and their son, Walter Lips, became city fire chief in 1905.^[2]^[3]^[4]
