The funeral is tomorrow afternoon, Reverend Cameron Quigley officiating, with burial in Woodlawn Cemetery. He was a son of the late Capt David Rippey of this town, who was in his day active in the timber and lumber business, especially in transportation by water from the head of navigation on the Annapolis River, for export or manufacture here. "Sam" learned his trade here as a machinist in the days of wooden shipbuilding and served as engineer with Capt. Geo E Corbitt in the steamer Evangeline and others carrying mails and passengers from the railway terminal here to and from Digby before the connecting bit of railway was constructed. After that he became engineer of the new electric light plant which had been started by the late Carman O'Dell and had a power house on the site of the old Town Office at the west end of Victoria Street. Power was then generated by steam with coal principally from the Joggins Mines in Cumberland County, brought here by water. Mr O'Dell sold out to a company of seven, three of whom: AE Atlee, FW Pickels and JH Runciman are still "on deck", the others having been the late AM King, Hon. SWW Pickup, David S Riordan and Carmie O'Dell. After about 2 years of successful operation, the price of coal increased and the possibility of generating cheap power from the water at Lequille was made evident to the Town Council which bought out the service from the company and continued Mr Rippey as superintendent, as well as of the water service which position he held until his retirement on a pension about a year ago. A very fine machinist, a careful boss and an exemplary citizen, he will be sincerely missed. Mr Rippey leaves a widow (a daughter of the late John Edwards and sister of Mrs FW Pickels); 2 sons: James (Town Manager of Windsor) and Max in this town, and 4 daughters: Hilda (Mrs James Kearns); Misses Gertrude, Joyce and Margaret at home. Two other boys had died in early life. A sister is living in St John.
