Notes:

Herman Graves Shedd is my Grandfather. I was named after him. I was his first grandson. He hoovered over me like a mother hen over her chickens, and taught me much, particularly in carpentry. One look at his pictures, and you immediately get the feeling that he was a cocky, self reliant person, and no one was going to tell him much of anything. If you felt that way about his pictures, you knew him pretty well, because that was my Grandpa!! He was five foot 2 inches of determinination, as long as I knew him and I suspect since birth. His favorite saying to me after making or accomplishing something was, "Just look who did it"! I appreciated his self reliance, and I strongly suspect that I inherited some of it!! His determination must have come from his father who journed from New Hampshire to Oregon with oxen. Some determination!! Grandpa died at age 84 years, 4 months, and 15 days, every day of which everyone around him was aware of!! Herman William Tripp--Remembering----

I discovered in 1992 that he was probably named after his uncle, Hermon Shedd, who died in the Civil War, and is buried in the Whitehouse Landing Cemetery. Hermon William Tripp--Remembering----

Notes:

Happy birthday Grandma Kate Cottingham Shedd. You are 132 years old today! I never got to meet you, but I got to be born on your birthday! I heard a lot about you, and you must have been a spunky girl, to be married to my Grandpa Shedd. I think I inherited a lot of characteristics from you. Most important, you were the mother of, and named my mother, Florence Marjorie Shedd. You were 29 years, 1 month, and 28 days old the day she was born. My mother was 24 years, 10 months, annd 2 days old, the day I was born. She was happy to see me, but unhappy that you were not here, when she gave birth to her first born son, and your first born grandson. You had died 1 year, 2 months and 22 days before I showed up. I thank you for sharing your birthday with me! July 28, 1991. Herman William Tripp--Remembering----

Seventy years ago today you died! What a sad day for your family. My mother has always missed you very much. She thought of you a lot. I know she thought of you the day I was born. It would have been your 54th birthday. I think my mother cried for me and for you! You passed away seventy years ago today, but we rememeber! April 16, 1992.

(This is our son Clifford Allen Tripp's birth date, thirty seven years later). He is holding his first born grandchild my aunt Mary Rhoda Shedd Hansen who was born December 15, 1892 and died in 1975. To their left is Great Grandmother Rhoda M. Graves Shedd who was born January 13, 1834 and died Februaty 20, 1905.

To her left is her brother and my Grandfather Herman Graves Shedd who was born October 19, 1868 and died March 6, 1953. Standing with him is his wife and my Grandmother Katate Cottingham Shedd born July 28, 1869 (exactly 54 years to the day before I was born) and died April 16,1922 (exactly one year three months and twelve days before I was born). Standing down below is Uncle John William Shedd (Uncle Will) who waas born September 14, 1870 and died May 21, 1940. This picture was taken in Fairbury Illinois, I assume, at Great Grandfather William Willard Shedd's house.
