Tripp, H. L. Born April 9, 1848, in Chester, Warren county, New York, where he
received his education, and resided until twenty years of age. He was then
employed as clerk in a general merchandising store at The Glen, in same county,
for about two years. He then embarked in business at North Creek, under the firm
name of Hall, Tripp & Co., where he did a lucrative business for eighteen
months, when Mr. Tripp sold his interest and went to Glenn's Falls and followed
clerking until February 1875, when he set out for California, and landed in San
Francisco, March 15, 1875. He soon found employment as a clerk in a general
merchandising establishment, but owing to the push and energy that make the
smart business man, he could not content himself with clerking, and soon engaged
in business again, this time under the firm name of Palmer & Tripp, where he
remained about two years, when he sold his interest to his partner. On June 1,
1878, he came to Santa Rosa and opened a clothing and furnishing store on Fourth
street, where he still remains. The subject of this sketch is a young man, whose
life has been an eventful one, as he started out in life early, and has battled
his way through, and has at last succeeded in gaining for himself a good
reputation and a prosperous business.
