Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of New Bedford, Vol. 2 In January, 1917, Mr. Tripp presented on behalf of the board of trustees of the Free Public Library of the city of New Bedford the sixty-fifth annual report of the board to the city council. This report Mr. Tripp submitted as clerk of the board of trustees, but the leading feature of this was the report of George H. Tripp, librarian, to the trustees of the library. This report of the growth, activities and needs of the library shows that his position is not a sinecure, but one of responsibility that is receiving the closest attention, and the report breathes a spirit of loyalty and devotion as well as a masterful grasp upon the duties of the position he so ably fills. At the opening of the new library building, December 11, 1910, Mr. Tripp delivered a most thoughtful and valuable address. He descends from the ancient Tripp family founded in Rhode Island by John Tripp, and in the town of Dartmouth by his son, Joseph Tripp. Lemuel Tripp, grandfather of George H. Tripp, was a merchant, shipowner and sea captain, and in 1831 an incorporator of the Fairhaven Bank, which in 1864 became the Fairhaven National Bank. Hiram Tripp, son of Lemuel Tripp, was a cooper by trade, a shipowner and an important man in his day. He married Louisa Gifford, daughter of Bethuel and Susan (Clark) Gifford, she also a descendant of ancient and honorable family. Hiram and Louisa (Gifford) Tripp were the parents of George H. Tripp, who as educator and principal in New Bedford public school and as librarian of the Free Public Library has been in the public service for the greater part of his mature years. George Henry Tripp was born in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, 1853. After public school and preparatory courses of study, he entered Dartmouth College, whence he was graduated, class of 1876. He chose pedagogy as his profession, and after five years teaching in various high schools was elected, in 1881, principal of the Middle Street Grammar School, New Bedford. This Middle street school house was built in 1844-45, the first brick school house in the city, the upper floor being occupied by the high school. That building, costing $10,000, was outgrown, but in new, enlarged and improved form is now an important item of the city's system of buildings devoted to free public education. Between 1845, when the school was founded, and 1881, when Mr. Tripp was elected, the school had been under the care of eleven principals, Benjamin Evans, the first principal, being recalled as its fourth. Mr. Tripp continued as principal twenty years, 1881-1901. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Bedford of the Past The following sketches were written currente ca lamo in 1875 for the New Bedford Evening Standard, with no intention of further publication. Beheving, however, that they have much of local historic value for the lover of bygone days, we have decided to publish them in book form, not only for their more sure preservation, but also to show the keen interest felt by the author in his native town. Editors. Nonqurrr, mass., Aug. 12, 1903. MY dear friends, anna and walton cmrsom I thank you for giving me an opportunity of reading some of your honored father's sketches of old New Bed ford. The names are mostly unknown to me, but I can easily see how valuable these reminiscences may be to the descendants of these Old citizens in time to come, and how pleasant to some even now. I find a certain charm in the very desultorincss of these papers, just as there is in an aimless ramble over country pastures, fields, and meadows, picking a flower here and there. Just such a ramble I had many a time with your father himself among the marshes and woods of this lovely Nonquitt. Why he chose to ask me to be his companion, I never clearly knew; but his talk was much like these papers, and I found quite as many wild flowers in it as we picked by the way, flowers Of poetical quotation or noble sentiment or genuine insight into ideal truth. The world of today is much the poorer for the passage Of so simple-hearted and nncor rupted a man as he indubitably was.

Familiar faces, young and old, look to a promising future in this great industrial city with a glorified maritime past.

Resilient residents will take strength and encouragement from friends and community, finding laughter and escape through music, theater, radio, sports and other forms of entertainment. Everyday heroes will emerge. The city will reinvent itself and forge on. Fast forward to the 1960s. Following another post-war boom, new industries come to town, the hurricane barrier goes up and the fishing fleet brings promise and growth.

Still, a new generation again brings hope and change.

Explore the evolution of the city's diverse mix of cultures and see New Bedford's fishing industry grow from a small fledgling fleet of draggers to what today is the country's number one fishing port. Experience the people, places, and events that have shaped New Bedford, one of New England's most historically significant cities.

She had employed him for the day, and after giving him his dinner, she was obliged to go out, so left his supper for him. He ate it immediately on her departure, and went home, declaring he never vet had worked after supper. Adelaide Goodale was another curious char acter, who sometimes wore a hat and a bonnet at the same time, the former perched on top. She had the most nasal of twangs, and kept a thread and needle store and a few sweeties on Third street. One winter the doctor advised her to take cod liver oil, but she told him that she fried her cakes in candle grease and stood over the smoke, and guessed that was just as good and a deal cheaper.
