He was Intensely Southern in senti

Capt. Triplett was loved and re

This was abundantly attested in the
organization of a chapter of Children
of the Confederacy, which organi

Triplett Chapter, Children of the
Confederacy.
Although fond of the society of
ladles and a universal favorite with
the fair sex, Capt. Triplett never
married. If he ever had a real love
affair, he never talked to his friends
about It, and his heart’s secret was
