Because of ill health he retired in 1948, sold his farm in Fabius community and his business and moved to the home on West Main Cross street in Palmyra, where he resided until his death.

He served in many community activities during his life time and was a member of the I.O.O.F. and the Modern Woodmen of America at the time of his death. "On September 28, 1952, Mr. and Mrs Triplett celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary at their home in Palmyra.

Sutterfield and the Rev Frank Baker, conducting the services. "Burial was in the Greenwood cemetery. Pallbearers were Warwick Triplett, Harvey Triplett, Clarence and Cecil Taylor, Har** Carson and Harold Hansbrough." -- Palmyra Spectator, undated article. Note that the age is miscalculated; he was 84 years 11 months and 22 days. -- LKL Edgar M. Triplett "Palmyra, Mo., July 5. -- Edgar M. Triplett, 84, died Friday in his home here. Funeral serivces will be held Monday afternoon at 2 in First Baptist church in charge of the Rev. W.E. Sutterfield. Burial will be in Greenwood cemetery.

Note some wild fluctuations in names in these two obituaries. I tend to trust the Palmyra paper as the more accurate source. It is more consistent with the article on the wedding anniversary. -- LKL
