Dayton TRIPP, son of William & Mary (FRANCIS) TRIPP. Born 1890.

Probably about 1910 or before.

Dayton was a man who loved little children and liked to play with them. The children loved him back. He had a wooden leg and liked to give pins to small children and have them try to get him to react when they stuck the pins in his leg. One little girl snuck around behind him and stuck a pin in his other leg. To my awareness, Dayton didn't play that game again!
