Daughter of George West and Harriett Woolley. She married Melvin Reynolds Tripp in Salt Lake City, UT on Oct. 9, 1913.
The simple apron that it was, you would never think about. The things she used it for, that made it look worn out. She uses it for a basket, when she gathered up the eggs, she flopped it as a weapon, when the hens picked her feet or legs. She used to carry kindling when she stoked a kitchen fire, or to whip a clothesline wire. She used it for a hot pad to remove a steaming pan, and when her brow was heated she used it for a fan. It dried our children's tears, when we’ed scrap a knee and cry, Made a hiding place when little ones were shy. Farm produce took in season, in the summer, spring and fall, found its way into the kitchen from grandmas carry all. When grandma went to heaven, God said, she now could rest. I'm sure the the apron she chose that day was her Sunday Best.
