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.
