     Mrs. Golson S. Triplett died in the home of her daughter, Mrs. Mattie Perry, west of this city, on Saturday, January 12, 1929, at the age of 93 years and 7 months. Her early life was passed in Pike county until the death of her husband, twenty-eight years ago, and since that time she has made her home among her children, being with her daughter, Mrs. Mattie Perry at the time of her death. Mrs. Cox and Mrs. Rife, other daughters were also with the mother during her last illness.

     Dinitia F. Bradshaw was born June 13 1835 in Pike county, Illinois. She was married to Golson S. Triplett in 1853 and to this union 9 children were born, three dying in early infancy.
