MR. PRESIDENT: Your committee, which was appointed to report resolutions commemorating the life, character, and services of the late D. Myron Tripp, begs leave to submit the following report:
D. Myron Tripp was born on a farm in Clear Creek township, Jasper county, Iowa, September 6, 1882, and died May 15, 1936, at Webster City, Iowa.
He received his education in the Colfax public schools, Des Moines University, and Drake University, graduating from Drake University College of Law in June, 1906. Following graduation he practiced law with his father, the late Garner M. Tripp, at Colfax, until 1920 when he moved to Newton. He served as city attorney of Colfax, and as attorney and member of the Newton city council.
In 1906 he was united in marriage with Miss Vera B. Stouffer, who, with one son, Myron D. Tripp, survive him.
In 1933, as a democrat, he was elected state senator from the twenty-ninth district, Jasper county, to fill a vacancy caused by the death of Senator O. P. Myers.
In 1934 he returned to his private practice of law and in February of that year was appointed by Attorney General Edward L. O’Connor as an assistant attorney general for the highway commission, with headquarters at Ames, and was serving in this capacity at the time of his death.
Therefore, Be It Resolved, That in the death of the Honorable D. Myron Tripp the state has lost a valuable and honored citizen, and that we extend to his widow and son our sincere sympathy.
Be It Further Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be printed in the Journal of the Senate as a commemoration of the life and worth of the deceased, and that enrolled copies hereof be transmitted to the widow and son.
