      "The couple was married in Fabius at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Baxter by the Rev M.L. Thomas, who at that time was pastor of the First Baptist Church in Palmyra. They have spent all of their married life in the same township. With the exception of two years, they have lived on the same farm located a few miles north of the Fabius community house.

      "At the age of twenty, Mr. Triplett left his Virginia home and came to Marion county. During the first seven years of his residence here he was employed on the Fabius farms of William and Frank Taylor, but following his marriage started farming operations for himself and has been one of the most successful men in his township. From early boyhood fox hunting has been his principal hobby and for a number of years he has kept a pack of well bred fox hounds.
      "Before marriage Mrs. Triplett was Miss Jessie Brown. She was born a short distance north of Palmyra, December 13, 1868. Her parents were Frank and Katherine Brown, also natives of this county, who died when she was about five years of age. Following the death of her parents she lived in the home of her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. William Baxter of Fabius and has spend her entire life in that township.
