SAMUEL EARL (CURLY) TRIPP passed away on February 26, 1988, at
Boissevain, Manitoba, Canada, in his 74th year after a lengthy
illness.
Earl, better known as Curly, was an early member of the boys and
girls Calf Club, a member of the Canadian Foresters and a member of
the Ninga Cemetery Board. He participated in the Spring Drive and
the Fall Round Up at the Ninga Livestock Association Pasture, where
his sense of humor is, and for a long time to come, will still be
remembered.
