The funeral of John Tribbett Sunday was perhaps one of the largest ever seen in our town. He had lived in Thorntown for some years and had many friends there, but had lived most of his life in and around Darlington, and was known and respected by every man, woman, and child. He was a member of the different Masonic bodies of Crawfordsville, they having charge of the funeral. Services were held in the Presbyterian Church at this place, conducted by Rev. Joseph Cooper, an old time friend of the family and an especial friend of the deceased, after which he was laid to rest in the I. O. O. F. Cemetery.

After attaining the ripe old age of more than three score and ten Uncle John Tribbett passed peacefully from earth last Saturday morning shortly after midnight after an illness of two weeks to an hour from paralysis. He was conscious to within a few hours of the time of his death and bade his family and other relatives all farewell. He realized his condition and said, “all was well.” He was the third child in a family of nine children and was born in Preble County, Ohio Nov 3rd 1821. He came with his parents, James and Sarah Tribbett to Franklin Township, Montgomery County, Indiana in October 1828. He was married to Anna Cox Dec 24, 1846 from which union was born 8 children: Clinton; Franklin; Albert and Charles, Mrs. Emily Mullen, Mrs. JC Henderson, Mrs. Arch Needham and Alice at home of whom all are living and located in this state within a few hours drive of each other. Besides the aged widow he leaves a brother, Wesley of this place and a sister, Mrs. Mary Davis of Logan County, Illinois. The funeral was conducted Sunday from the late residence here where he has lived since retiring from the farm some four years ago, with interment at Darlington. The large attendance here and at Darlington where the Presbyterian Church was packed, attested the general esteem in which he was held. Having been of this immediate vicinity through boyhood and manhood for a period of 70 years he was well and widely known. By his honest, industry and general thrift, he accumulated a fair share of the world’s good and which he used well in its purpose of providing for himself and his own. Mr. Tribbett was an enthusiastic Mason of high degree, being a Knight Templar. He was not merely a Mason in name but was an enthusiastic believer and follower of its tenets. The funeral was conducted under the auspices of that order, the remains being escorted to Darlington by Thorntown Lodge where Montgomery Lodge of Crawfordsville of which he was a member met and took charge of the burial. The Thorntown Masonic Quartette rendered appropriate music during the ceremonial rites which was witnessed at the cemetery by 2000 people. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Cooper a life long friend of Mr. Tribbett. All in all Uncle John Tribbett was a good man. No higher tribute can be paid. He was of that class of men that are passing away so fast, that labored to make this section what it is and that the present generation enjoys in comparative luxury. He was honest. It was a firmly set principle with him and he believed that the best bread was that partaken of through toil. Peace be unto him. = kbz
