No, I do not have her dates, except her approximate birth date from census records: she was born Oct., 1864. >From the little I know, it seems the family lost touch with Ida Mae (Longley) Tripp, or maybe she lost touch with them? She was b. in either Wayne Co., NY, or Cananda, married Nelson Trip 18 Dec., 1887, had two daughters, Minnie Myrtle and Gladys H. Minnie Myrtle married a man named "Young." Nelson Tripp died in Yates Co., NY and is buried at East Palmyra Cem., Wayne Co., NY. From an old letter, I learned that the family lost touch with the Ida and the girls around 1923-24. I found Ida in the 1930 cen. in the Columbia Co. Alms House, Ghent, NY. After that, I've found no further info on her or her daughters. Assuming this is "my" Ida buried at Spencertown Cemetery, I am hoping to learn her specific birth and death info and thereby have hope of tracking down her death certificate, etc. Thanks again for you kind consideration!

Hi Friend, What a wonderful and thoughtful gesture! We've known each other for some time but this is a side of you of which I was unaware! You said, however, that your "parents made no important contributions to society..." I think you are partially wrong or perhaps too modest. You did mention that "They provided for [you], and they taught [you] lasting values." As I approach my twilight years, I like to believe that my single most important contribution to society is having raised four wonderful (in my eyes) daughters who are productive citizens and who, in turn, are teaching their children lasting values that will contribute favorably to society for years to come. Further, in all my many years, the most rewarding experience of my life, other than the family, was in the teaching of others, and knowing that some of these would, in turn, teach a future generation. I know that teaching is your profession and in that you are contributing greatly and your parents continue contributing through you. I do wish that I could be there for the performance but you are aware of my situation. Please let me know if and when a CD is released.
