Triplett Family - Lewis Golson Triplett - Minnehaha Falls Picture.

 

This picture was taken at Minnehaha Falls in Minneapolis, Hennepin County, Minnesota. I believe it was taken prior  to Lewis and Ida's marriage.

Left to right are:

Lewis Golson Triplett

Ida Greene - the future Mrs. Lewis Golson Triplett, is standing behind Lewis.

 I believe that one of the ladies seated is  Mary Vesta Triplett and possibly Nancy  Nannie Triplett.

The man might be Will Greene a cousin holding his son and Will's wife holding their daughter.

The back of this picture has the following:

    "Two figures on the left seated, Lewis Triplett, standing Ida Greene Triplett. ca[circa] 4888 tom 90. possibly earlier than this date.
    according to the librarian in the Burbank City Library who is an American History "nut", the style of clothing could be from 1880 to 1895, as styles lingered on in some of the more isolated area away from the Eastern Seaboard. anyway, that is "Grandpa on the left". I do not know wrote this information.

Triplett Family - Lewis Triplett- Builds new Episcopal Church

When we went on our first "Family History Tour" circa 2012, I went to the Charles  A. Weyerhaeuser/Morrison County Historical Society and was given this clipping about my great grandfather, Lewis [Golson]Triplett. This article reads as:

NEW EPISCOPAL CHURCH

The Contract for Its Construction Let to Lewis Triplett of This City

Monday Aug.3 1903

     The contract for the erection of the New Episcopal church on the corner of Fourth street and First avenue northeast was on Saturday let to Lewis Triplett at $6,500. This building will be 90X50 feet in size and architecturally will be one of the handsomest buildings in the city. The lower part of it will be constructed of boulders and the upper part of grout and plastered. This can be colored any desired tint. The work will commence immediately and the building rushed to completion.

This is a picture of the church from our Family History Tour 2012 edition. I called to ask if I can take pictures of the interior but no one ever answered the phone. Will try again.

Triplett Family - Lewis Golson Triplett and Ida Greene Triplett Gravesites

This is the folded wing entrance to Vallhalla Cemetery. We used it as an exit.

In January of 2020 - just before COVID 19 - Brian, I and Cousin Bob Lindgren went searching for graves in Los Angeles and Orange County. 

The Lewis and Ida Triplett's gravesites are in Pierce Brothers Vallhalla Cemetery. They are located 10621 Victory Blvd., North Hollywood, California.

The first picture is an entrance to the cemetery. It is called "The Folded Wing Memorial". 

The second entrance that be entered by turning left at the entrance located on a short street. [I believe you have to go through a gate to drive up to the main buildings.]

What follows are guides to be able to go straight to the gravesites. If you need help finding Ida and Lewis, you can ask for help at the main building entrance.

This curb marker is the area that Lewis and Ida are buried. We had a gentleman take me and lead Brian and Cousin Bob to this area.

This is the marker that is close to Ida and Lewis' graves.

This is a picture of Brian near the gravesites. When I took this picture, I had my back to the funeral buildings looking north towards the John Wayne Airport.

This picture is pointing south towards the Folded Wing Memorial while standing at Lewis and Ida's grave markers.

Grandpa's father Lewis was a finish carpenter

and contractor in Little Falls. He built the most beautiful Episcopal Church that is still in use today. This picture is from our Summer of 2012 Family History Tour. I didn't think to call ahead to see if someone would be there to let us in. I love the red door!

This is a newspaper clipping about the day the church was consecrated.

WITH SOLEMN SERVICE
New Church of Our Savior Dedicated Wednesday
   The handsome new church of our Savior was dedicated Wednesday morning with the impressive ceremonies of the Episcopal church.

Rt. Rev. J. D. Morrison, D> D., L., the following clergymen, took part: Rev. F. E. Allelyne, rector of the local parish; Rev. C. Herbert Shutt, St. Peter's church, St. Paul; Rev Wm. Watson, Wahpeton, N.D.; Rev Geo. Barnes, Alexandria; Rev. F. Parshall, St. Cond [Cloud]; Rev. E. S. Murphy, Wadena; and Rev. W. T. Moody, Brainerd.

After the processional hymn the verses of the 24th psalm was read by the bishop and people, alternatively. Prayer by the bishop followed, after which Bishop Morrison, preceded by the rector, went to the places in the church to be blessed, beginning with the font. After the Lord's prayer the bishop renounced the dedication gave his benediction. After singing by the choir the choral celebration of the Holy Eucharist followed, with Rev. Alleyne as celebrant. After reading of the Epistle and gospel and a hymn by the choir. Bishop Morrison reached the dedicatory sermon, taking his text from Genesis:

"How dreadful is this place; this is none other than the house of God and this is the gate of heaven.

"And Jacob rose up early in the morning and took the stone that he had put for his pillow, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it.

"And he called the name of that place Bethel."

The eloquent instructive and illuminating sermon of the bishop all turned on the main idea that the new structure was the house of God. Congratulations to the rector and congregation were given and their efforts praised. The bishop explained to some extent the form and method of worship in the church, expressed hope for the future and admonished the congregation to continue with the work so auspiciously begun.

The services closed with the celebration of the Holy Eucharist.

There was a large attendance at the services both morning and evening. In the evening Rev C. Herbert Shutt, Rev. Wm. Watson and Rev. H. F. Parshall made the addresses.

Rev. Shutt congratulated the congregation on its great achievement in building such a splendid edifice, one worthy of a larger place. He said the work was just commenced, that more and appropriate opportunities for labor would come. He took up the position of the church and amid problems were before it, which the congregation must help to solve. Rev. Watson's address was a description and a reminder, a description of the symbolic nature of the church building and a reminder of its [?]. He rejoiced with the rector and congregation on the structure errected to the glory of God. In his address Rev. Parshall made a glowing and merited eulogy of Rev. Alleyne, saying that the erection of the church was due to the energy, enterprise, good will, and the churchmanship of the local rector. He congratulated the people on their church and more on their rector.

He made a plea for tolerance, for less bitterness and bickering between denominations.

The new church is in the Queen Anne style, eighty-six feet in depth, thirty-eight feet wide in the nave and fifty-six feet wide in the chancel. The walls for twelve feet are of granite boulders with black mortar, above group with wooden panels. A heavy trussed roof surmounts this. The belfry in the northeast corner is of granite boulders. The structure is a very handsome one.

The nave is finished in weathered oak and will seat 300. The walls are kalsomined and frescoed in gold, and the roof is finished in cathedral style. There is a chancel for the vested choir. The altar was given by Mrs. Hubert Root, in memory of her late husband, who was rector here from 1876 to 1880. It is nine feet long, with tabernacle and reredos fifteen feet in height.

The windows deserve special notice. The large east window, "Christ blessing little children," was given in memory of the late Martha W. Tanner by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Tanner, and Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Davidson.

Of the three smaller memorial windows on the south side, one, "The Good Samaritan," was presented by traveling men;" Christ knocking at the door" by the choir in memory of Bishop Whipple; "Angel guarding a cross" by Mr. and Mrs. T. O. Gordon in memory of Mrs. Gordon's parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Stillwell. The vesper lights were given by the rector, in memory of his father, the late Colonel Alexander Alleyne.

The basement is yet unfinished. It will be fitted for a gymnasium. The total cost of the church when completed, will be nearly $10.000.

The cornerstone was laid Sept. 16th, and in spite of non-arrival of material and bad weather Contractor Lewis Triplett completed the work within reasonable time.

More than anyone, the energetic and popular rector of the Episcopal parish deserves congratulation, for to his enterprise, energy and work is due the beautiful building which is one of the finest structures of the kind in the city. He was well supported in his labors by the congregation.

Triplett Family - Lewis Golson Triplett picture - page 1

This picture was possibly taken in the early 1880's. Lewis had followed Ida and her family to Minnesota prior to their marriage in 1889.

Her step father William Givler believed that the future husband should be gainfully employed prior to marriage and could support a family.

During this time, Ida, worked as a milliner in a lady's hat shop in - possibly - Long Lake Minnesota.
