Life of J. F. Triplett
He was a miner in California and Nevada. Cowboy and freighting teaming among the mountains and plains of Nevada. He was in the livery and stock-raising business for some time. Was in public service of his state as an officer of the law and an Indian fighter. He has won many laurels for his great courage. It was while in pursuit of horses and cattle thieves that he made his first acquaintance with Nevada in 1855, and only two years later he became a permanent settler near the town of Genoa, he being the first to locate there. Mr. Triplett is of a southern family being born in Kentucky in 1835. He received education advantages until he was 14 years old and from that time on made his own living.
When he was 17 years old in 1852 he came to California. He mined and had done various jobs. Mine excitement took him to Austin and while there he was sheriff of Lander County for seven years. He then retired from ranching in 1882 and came to Elko for the purpose of educating his children. After coming to Elko to retire, Mr. Triplett was appointed Deputy Sheriff and was employed by the Nevada Livestock Association to pursue and arrest cattle thieves. In 1860 during the Piaute Indian outbreak, Mr. Triplett joined a company of cowboys under Captain Sam Wallace. There were forty-seven of them armed with rifles, but when they came upon the Indians they were too strong and so they waited for more men. Being reinforced with 124 men, they went against nine-hundred Indians and in a fight lasting all day until night, they killed forty-six of the redskins and lost but two of their own men and compelled the Indians to retreat.
Mr. Triplett married in 1867. He is a Democrat and he was an active lodge member of the Mason's, he being secretary of the Elko lodge for ten years. Mr. Triplett was a daring man and was an active citizen whom everyone misses. He died in Elki in 1921.
The first time Mr. Triplett saw the Hot Hole, which is near the Hot Springs Bridge, there was no Elko, Mr. Triplett came by this way going to Austin. He had an Indian boy, 12 to 15 years old, with him and he crossed the summit at the head of what is now Sherman Canyon at nearly dark. They camped about 1/2 mile west of Osino in the upper end of Wright's field. Some Indians were camped around where Osino is. Mr. Triplett and the boy picketed their horses in a hidden place in the willows, the grass was nearly as high as the horses backs. The following morning they were up at daylight and only one horse was to be found. About sunrise two papooses came by their camp riding a nice-looking 2 year old colt. They coaxed the papooses over and they then took the horses themselves and started out.
About two miles east of Elko they could see the Indians were following them. They crossed the Humboldt about where the Bridge now stands and as they rode up the hill Mr. Triplett saw the old crater and told about it when he got back to Austin. The Indians were forced to give up the chase after dark and they managed to keep ahead of the "arrows." They arrived in Austin safely.

SECOND PIONEER TO DIE WITHIN THE WEEK PASSESJ.F. Triplett, one of First to Come to Nevada and Elko Dies Here at the Age of Eighty-Seven Years
Joseph F. Triplett, one of the first arrivals in the State of Nevada who took an active part in the construction of the future commonwealth, and one of the first comers to Elko county to make his home, passed away in this city yesterday at the ripe old age of eighty-seven years. Mr. Triplett was the second of the old line pioneers to pass within the week, his death following closely upon that of C.C. Truett, who was buried but a few days ago.
Mr. Triplett was born in Kentucky 87 years ago. He first came to Nevada in 1865, settling in the Carson Valley, where he farmed for a time. Later, however, he came to the eastern portion of the state and served as sheriff of Lander county for some time. His removal to Elko County followed closely after his term of office expired and he has resided here ever since.
The deceased kept a diary from the time he was first able to write up until a few months ago. He often discussed the entries in this document with his friends and many were the droll and interesting stories he told based upon the items appearing in the manuscript. Mr. Triplett was the discoverer of an herb during his first days in Nevada which was later developed into a liniment which proved to be a great relief for sufferers from all sorts of rheumatic complaints as well as for cuts and bruises. The vegetation from which the liniment was made was discovered by Mr. Triplett through accident. He was traveling by horse and wagon through the Carson Valley many years ago and at night took shelter with an Indian camped near Washoe Lake. During the evening the Indian brewed a tea from roots and herbs which later proved very valuable to Mr. Triplett through personal experience. When he came to Elko county he discovered the herb growing near this city and manufactured a liniment from it which found a ready sale in this vicinity.
Mr. Triplett had been secretary of the local order of Masons for fifteen years and his funeral will be held under their auspices.
Deceased was survived by his widow, a son, Phillip S.; editor of the Nevada State Herald, in Wells, and two daughters, Mrs. Clifford Wayman and Mrs. George Bruce, both of whom live in this city.
Funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 from the Keyser chapel. The pallbearers who will attend the dead man to his grave will be the following: C.H. Hale, J.W. Puett, J.H. Bradish, J.H. Connerty, J. D. McFarlane, Isaac Griswold.
Again we record the passing of a pioneer, one of the real hewers of the life of our commonwealth and our community. Joseph F. Triplett was a good man and lived an exemplary life. He passed each day among his fellow man in manner justifying the most merciful treatment of his God. May his soul rest in peace and his hereafter be as sublime as his honesty of purpose and his character as a mortal deserves.
