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.
