Calhoun Chronicle, 7 September 2000 - reprint from Feb 1894 (http://www.rootsweb.com/~wvcalhou/obitst2.htm) reported:
LUCINDA TRIPPETT
On the 6 day of March 1894, Mrs. Lucinda Trippett passed away. She was the widow of Franklin Trippett, who died Feb. 9, 1886. She was buried by the side of her husband in the "Goodnight Burial Ground" on the morning of the 8th, in the presence of an unusually large assembly of people.
She was the daughter of Philip and Rebecca Low and was born near the village of Lowsville in Monongalia county on the 27th day of October 1814. She has five brothers and three sisters. So far as the writer knows, her sisters and three of her brothers are yet living. One brother died in 1861, and two, Harrison and Lemuel, went to California in the early days of the gold fever and never returned. Harrison was murdered by the Indians after the discovery of gold at Pikes Peak and the other has not been heard from for many years and the presumption is almost a certainty that he too has crossed the stream that washes the farther shore of time. Joshua and Gustavis, and the three sisters, Rebecca Watson and Elizabeth and Mary Barker, I believe are all living in Monongalia county. Levi emigrated to Colorado some 20 years ago. I have never heard of his death.
I do not know the respective ages of her brothers and sisters, but I believe Joshua was the oldest of the family, and had Mother Trippett lived until 27th of Oct., she would have been four score years upon life's rough road. I do not know the date of her christian birth, but it was before she was married on July 10, 1836. She was the mother of ten children, all save two who died in infancy are yet living. Philip and Milton are prominent citizens and prosperous farmers of Sheridan District in this county. Rev. Marshall, a zealous and eloquent minister of the M.E. Church South, lives about two miles below Grantsville. Rev. Caleb of the M.E. Church has been in the active ministry for 25 years. His work is now at Short Creek and Wheeling. Rev. Frank, M.D., of the same church, is in New York ministering to both soul and body, in scripture parlance: "Healing the sick and cleansing the leper." Lemuel H., her youngest son is well and favorably known as the present efficient county clerk of Calhoun county, a worthy successor of one, whom the late Judge Brown once said was the best clerk in the state. Mrs. Henrietta Miller of Smithville, her oldest daughter is an exemplary christian whose light ever shines before others. Mrs. Rebecca Smith, her youngest daughter, lives near the old homestead and to her and Milton all praise should be given for their filial affection and tender care of Mother Trippett who for the eight closing years of her earthly pilgrimage was totally blind and during all that time it was upon them she leaned and it was their pleasure to strew her path with flowers of kindness until she passed to a land that is fairer than this.
