An Old Relic.

Samuel w. Kennedy, u carpenter re-
siding at No. 226 Harrison street, while
working in the old building at the
northwest corner of Third and Shipley

was thai # Edward Tripp, and the date
was 1908 The name must have been
cut iu " hen the timber was soft and

M. Harrison cut out a block contain
ing he name and date, which would
be an interesting relic to the Tripp
family if any Of them are now living.
