George L. TRIPP was born in Bridgewater, N.Y., February 7,1873, son of Milton and Jennie Cole Tripp, of that town. His grandfather, Ira Tripp, is still living at Babcock Hill and he was one of the pioneers of Bridgewater; he was born in the town of Broom, Schoharie county, February 14, 1818, and moved to Bridgewater when fifteen years old. George L. learned the harness maker's trade, and in the spring of 1895 purchased the harness business of C.O. Biederman, which he is now conducting, and popularity in the community, coupled with his superior business abilities, insure him undoubted success.
