• Notes

  The second son of Colonel Ira and Rosanna Shoemaker Tripp, was born on the family homestead on North Main avenue, Providence, in 1841. His youth was passed in Scranton, where he laid the foundations of his education, in the public schools and he completed his studies in Wyoming Seminary. From an early age he evinced a liking for a railway life, and he began his active career in the service of the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railway, rising by merit to the position of locomotive engineer in which capacity, he continued until his voluntary retirement. He was accomplished in his profession, and enjoyed the fullest confidence of the railway company, and the esteem of all with whom he was in any manner associated. A man of more than ordinary intelligence, he was fully in sympathy with all movements for the welfare of the community, and gave to them a cordial support. He died in 1876, at the age of thirty-five years. His early demise being undoubtedly hastened by reason of the arduous duties imposed by his calling, and the mental strain incident to his sense of the responsibilities imposed upon him.
