Greene Family - Lewis and Ida Greene Triplett Headstones - page 10

In January 2020, Brian and I traveled to Southern California for a Lindgren Family reunion in Santa Ana, Orange County, California.

Besides finding and visiting gravesites of the Lindgren Family members, I wanted to find and visit my great grandparents burial sites. They were Lewis Golson Triplett, and Ida Greene Triplett.

They were buried in Vallhalla Pierce Brothers Memorial Park, North Hollywood, California. This picture is of the burial sites of the Triplett's facing north.                                                                                My husband Brian was standing in the left upper corner of the area. While we were there a larger passenger airplane took off from John Wayne Airport in Burbank, California.

Cousin Bob Lindgren drove us all over Orange and Los Angeles County that day. It was a long day but great to get out and about.

This picture is of the marker that signifies the lot number where Lewis and Ida are buried. They are buried in Lot 2-3 Sec 742 block A [curb #748]  

So, Ida was born in California and ended up being buried here. She traveled down the coast of California with her mother and brother after her father died. They took a stage coach through the Panama Isthmus - no canal then! Went up the east coast of the United States and heard the guns firing at Fort Sumter and the finished the journey in a sleigh as they arrived in Barry, Pike County Illinois of Christmas of 1861. Eventually after marrying Lewis, the family migrated back to California. Along the way she took a picture of her father's headstone outside of Dry Creek California. They built a beautiful home in Burbank and Lewis continued contracting for 20 years or so. I think she must have enjoyed her life.

Greene Family - Ida Greene - page 5

The couple settled down in Little Falls Minnesota, in a home that Lewis built - which is now a park - and had 2 sons:

Shirley Greene Triplett, born 16 December 1889, and (My grandfather, Lorna's dad.)
Harry Golson Triplett, born 8 June 1891.

At some point Lewis built a new house for them that is still standing on the corner in Little Falls. It was being refurbished when we saw it during our 2012 Family History Tour to the Midwest. The house had been divided into a duplex.

The trees out front had been planted at a 90 degree angle at the street corner of the property. I believe that the original front door - tho' weather worn - is still on the house. 

In the back was the hand pump that has probably been there for more than 100 years. It is possible that my grandfather and his brother pumped water from it when they lived there. The current owner Gordy says the pump doesn't work anymore.

Typically, the boys would eat dinner first, and then their parents would eat. Children, in those days, were seen but not heard!

The family lived in Little Falls until 1906. At that point in time they relocated to Stockton California and then Burbank California.

Gordy also mentioned that when his father bought the house, it was nearly falling down. They had to put in a new foundation. While starting that project, the contractor found that the foundation for the house was made of bricks, which was - apparently - common building practice back in the 1890's.

Greene Family - Little Falls Minnesota 2012 - page 5

Little Falls is located near the beginning of the Mississippi River. These are the gates in town. The gates/locks have been replaced at least 3 times in the last 100+ years.

The river seems to separate the town in two. 

While driving through town at night to see fire flies - there were very few in the meadows, we saw large bugs sitting on the street lights. They were everywhere! The next day we found one sleeping in the trees.

From left to right:

Lewis Triplett, Ida Greene Triplett, Ann Eliza Triplett, Will [William Wesley E.] Rippy, his wife Cora Shields Bills, and children [possibly Clyde Lester Rippey}, and Matte Bill at Minnehaha Falls, Minnesota, 1887.

This picture is from my private collection.

The second time we were in Minneapolis we went to Minnehaha Falls. It was amazing as to how many people were there. You have to walk down and back up 3 sets of stairs/pathway to get to the base of the falls. On the way back up there was a couple who were getting married over looking the falls.

Greene Family - Ida Greene - Photos

This is an adult photo of my mother's (Lorna), father's (Shirley), mother Ida Greene. I do not believe that she had a middle name.

This photo was taken in Minneapolis Minnesota by W. A. Nye. The photo studio was in the: Post Office Building, 23 4th St. South. (And by the way - take the elevator. I have not taken a look at a Sanborn Fire map to get an idea as to how many stories the building is/was.)

The first picture when Ida was 3 years old or so was possibly taken in California before the family moved back to Illinois.

While the family lived in Barry Illinois Ida me Lewis Triplett - probably at school.

At some point Ida's mother, Anne Eliza Bills met and married William Givler. The family then moved to Long Lake Minnesota.

At some point Lewis moved to Minnesota as well, only to Little Falls. Little Falls is a short drive to the northwest of Minneapolis.

There Lewis bought land and started building houses. (The story is that Ida's step father insisted on Lewis showing that he was a responsible person who could support a family. [This was definately the prevalent belief within the United States at that time.]

I believe that Lewis built several houses for others and then a home for he and Ida could move into after marriage. This original house no longer stands but second home does still stand as far as I know.

Greene Family - Ida Greene - page 1

This is a tintype of Ida Greene Triplett. I believe that she is about 3 years old. If that is true then this picture was taken in California before the family returned to Illinois. That would put the date of this picture about 1859 the year her father Pulaski died. This picture is part of my personnel collection.

I believe that she lived in Barry Illinois from the age of 5 until she was 14 years old. She must have met her future husband Lewis Triplett at school or within the community. She was raised by her mother and stepfather Ann Eliza and William Givler.

The family moved to Long Lake Minnesota when she was 14. I do not know how long she was in school.  

My mother Lorna told me that eventually Ida worked in a Millinery shop for possibly 7 years. During that time she must have been in contact with Lewis Triplett. He had located in Little Falls, Hennepin County Minnesota.

Mom also told me that Will Givler told the family that Ida and Lewis could not marry until Lewis had a business revenue stream to support a wife and family.

of the stock they could and left California promising to pay my mother what they owed her.
     They never kept the promise.
     Before I was five years old my mother with my brother and myself left California and went to Illinois going by the same route my father did in 1851.
     We arrived at my uncle Arthur Bills home near Barry on Christmas day 1860. We lived in Illinois until 1881 when my mother having married Wm Givler
     We all went to Minnesota. living on a farm near Long Lake Hennepin County. A few years after my stepfather died there. On Sep 4 1888 I was married to your father Lewis Triplett and went to Little Falls to live. A few years after my step fathers death my mother came to live with us and died November 7, 1901. In 1906 We came to California

     He prespered but his health was not recovered and he died.
     They had three childlren Frank myself and Shirly who died at the age of six months. Before my fathers death Dr Russell and others claiming to have Spanish grants to all of the land held by settlers in the vicinity of Galt forced most of the people to leave their homes. My father did not believe their claims but knew he had only a short time live told them he would not contest the matter if they would pay him for the improvements he had made and allow them to occupy the place while he lived. They agreed to do so but took possession immediately after his death.
     Dr Russell married my fathers niece Jerusha Hull. 
     After his death she married McCloughry. Hull McCloughery who married Anita Baldwin was their son.
     My father arranged to have the McTucker brothers take charge of their stock, they being in the same business. He had confidence in their honesty but that confidence was misplaced.
     They got the most of the profits and finally sold all

he was not cured of tuberculosis as he had hoped and thot that to live in California might cure him.
     He and my mother were married in the spring of 1852 and early in May started the long journey to California. With them were Mr & Mrs James Allen and another couple whose name I've tried to recall in vain. My fathers sister Sarah Hull and her two daughters Jerusha & Angeline came with them too.
     There were many young men in the party but only few of them I remember. My mothers brother Mahlon Bill [?] Barney Leonarad Wal[t]er and Jay Greene a distant relative of my fathers.
      The McTucker brothers, James and Nat came with my father too but I don[ot] know whether on the first or second trip.
     I dont know how long they were on the way but the[y] reached California befor[e] the fall rains came so my father and mother remained in the mountains with the cattle an[d] horses until there was feed in the valley.
     They brot both cattle and horses for breeding and had a ranch near the present site of Galt.

This letter was written by Ida Greene Triplett after she, Lewis, Shirley [Trip], and Harry Triplett moved to California. It is possible that she wrote it in Stockton, or even in Burbank. I will have to check on the street location.

My Dear Children
     I regret so much that I did not learn more of my parents history while there was still some one living to tell me especially about their trip across the plains and who came with them.
     The Barry Adage wrote about forty years ago published the history of that trip and I put the paper away for safe keeping but in the confusion of moving from the Disotel house to our home on 8th st it was lost.
     The few  facts I remember are that in 1849 my father with a small party of Barry men crossed the plains to California. Some of the men went into the mines but my father who was in poor health kept a store of miners supplies in a mining camp.
     He returned to Illinois in the fall of 1851 going by water, crossing the isthmus of Panama and on to New York and across country by rail and stage to Barry.
     His health was better but by spring he found

He was an attorney in a Michigan city. There were relatives of grandma's named Carlin. One Will Carlin used to write to Chloe Hawkins after grandma had been there in Michigan on a visit to her brother Warren Greene. Did you know before this that grandma Bill's name was Green? I see I've put the final "e" on all the names which I should not have done. That side of the family did not write it so.

Aunt Sally Bill was my grandmother and the "Sarah" of the top line of this page. My grandfather Aaron knew nothing of his parents but grew up in an orphanage until he was old enought to care for himself. There is a family of Bills in L.A. but all I know of them is that they are wealthy. There was an attorney in Little Falls (Minnesota) named Leonard Bill. I think uncle Alden asked him about his ancestry but learned nothing.

     Grandma's sister Chloe became a Mrs. Field and had a daughter, Juliet. This is just a scrap that clings to my memory. My mother lost aunt Chloe Storr's address a few years before she died and a short time before her last sickness told me I must find her but I did not know and don't yet how to go about it. I think she must have died long before Ma did for she was one of the older children. Her name appears on this list at the last but that was because it was omitted altogether from the list I was copying.

     S. T. Hubbell was husband of one of grandma's nieces.

This is a copy of the original marriage record for Pulaski Green and Ann Eliza Bill. This was copied in the Summer of 2012, on our first family history tour to the Midwest.
