"Ripley, Nelson B., brother of Rev. B. P. Ripley, was born on January 16, 1860, in Morris, Otsego County, N.Y. He received his education at the village school in Morris, Wyoming and Cazenovia Seminaries. He was converted in early life, and soon felt called to the ministry. He received exhorter's license in 1877, and the following year local preacher's license from Otsego District Conference. His first preaching was to the employees of the cotton factory at Morris. In 1882 he joined Conference, and at the same session received deacon's orders. Before entering Conference he learned the printer's trade.
He has been contributing poetic articles to the press for a number of years. In 1901 a collection of his poems was published under the title Cordelia, and Other Poems, which was well received.
On April 3, 1882, he married Miss Emma A. Shepherd, of Oneonta Plains, N.Y.
His pastoral record is as follows: 1882-83, Westville; 1884-86, Portlandville; 1887-91, Afton; 1892-96, Milford; 1897-98, Schenevus; 1899-1903, Otego."
