Greene Family - Ida Greene Triplett Obituary - page 9

This is the obituary for my great grandmother on my mother's father's side. Ida Greene was very interested in genealogy and would write frequently to relatives in Minnesota for information. Her parents were Pulaski and Anne Eliza Greene. This obituary reads:

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.

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 - 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.
