Harriet grew up around 50th and King Drive in Chicago. Previously it was named
South Parkway, and before that it was Grand Boulevard (different from Grand Ave).

Rod, Gussie Triplett
Nimrod and Fort (Bud) Triplett's father was Rod Triplett, the oldest child of Pierce and
Della Triplett. Gussie was their aunt, Rod's sister. Rod married Sarah E. Fort about
1900. She was Nimrod and Bud's mother. Sarah's father was George H. Fort and her
mother was Ida Chapman Fort according to records I found. There are more photos
that need retouching and I hope to add them.

Great Aunt Gussie, about 1914. Sarah Fort N&B's grandfather George H. Fort

Rod Triplett Bessie Fort, Sarah's sister Fort House, probably in Hot Springs, Ark.
House Close Up, probably with Eugene, Sarah's brother, and Ida. Eugene Fort
Probably Rod Triplett, could be Willie Triplett
I believe that many members of this family were devastated by TB. Nimrod and
Bud lived in the Colorado Springs area when they were young, and often not
in the same household as Sarah.
Nimrod allowed Owen to copy many of his album photos in the 1970s. I, Owen,
am happy to share these photos and Nimrod's knowledge of his family's history.
We all thank Nimrod posthumously.

When researching the very large Triplett family, one should be aware that the same first
names were repeatedly given to multiple generations of descendants, often since the late
1700s. Caucasian ancestors started this practice and it continued with African American
descendants. Also note many spelling variations in first and last names.
I hope to add more photos and organize most of them by great aunt and uncle.
