John Terhune Van Riper
| From The NEWS’- “HISTORY OF PASSAIC COUNTY” By William J Pape and William W. Scott-page 205 John Terhune Van Riper , the subject of this sketch, is the son of Dr. Cornelius Van Riper and Adrianna Terhune Van Riper (died December 9, 1893), and a grandson of the late ex-Judge John N. Terhune, and was born on the 20th day of April, 1872, in the city of Passaic, where he has resided since birth. He received his early education in the Passaic public schools, but in 1886 entered Dr. MacChes- ney’s Paterson Classical Institute, and began a course of classical study preparatory to entering college. In September, 1890, he entered the class of ’94 at Yale University, but short- ly after the beginning of the term was compelled to return home on account of sickness, and in October of the same year entered the University of the City of New York (now New York University) , and after pursuing a four years’ course received the degree of A. B. from that institution in June, 1894. By combining the last year’s work of the collegi- ate course with the first year’s work of the New York Uni- versity Law School course, he received the degree of L.L. B. in June , 1895, from the New York University Law School. While at college he held the offices of president and vice- president of the New York University Athletic Association, class vice-president (two years), class treasurer and secretary Psi fraternity, Theta Nu Epsilon Society , Passaic Club and Young Men’s Christian Association of Passaic. In June ,1897, he entered the law office of Thomas M. Moore, Esq., of Pas- saic, and in June , 1897, was admitted to the Bar of the State of New Jersey as an Attorney-at-Law and a Solicitor in Chancery. In his political preferences he is a Republican. He is also a member of the North Reformed Church of Pas- saic. On June 6, 1899, he was married to Edith Hope Hart, daughter of Colonel Benjamin F. and Emeline A. McDowell Hart, of Hoboken.

VAN RIPER GENEALOGY
URIAN TOMASON (Van Riper).
In April, 1663, Juriaen(1) Thomasse (Uriah, son of Thomas)
from Rypen,(2) in North Jutland, sailed from Holland in
T’Bonte Koe, “the Spotted Cow,” in company with eighty-
seven other passengers—men, women and children—in quest
of fortune in the New Netherlands. (3) The notices of the
young immigrant are extremely scanty in the early records.
He does not seem to have owned any lands at Bergen,
although he evidently settled there soon after his arrival.(4)
He m. Reyke Harmsse, May 25, 1667. He and his wife
were witnesses at the baptism of their grandson, Jurjaen,
son of Thomas Jurjaense and Jannetje Straet, Sept. l,
1693, as set forth in the Acquackanonk church records,
which contain no other mention of him, a fact which makes
it seem unlikely that he settled at Acquackanonk at all.
His death is recorded at Bergen, as having occurred Sept.
12, 1695. He probably died there. Ryke Harmsse (doubt-
less his widow) was a witness at the baptism of another
grandson, Jurie, son of Jan Juriance and Neeltje Gerre-
brantze, in the Acquackanonk Church, Feb. 10, 1703. She
owned Lot No. 2, in the Goutum subdivision. The date
of her death is unknown.
Second Generation.
Juriaen Thomasse and Reyke Harmsse had children :
1. Thomas, bap. June l0, 1668; m. Jannetje (bap.
Dec. 26, 1666), dau. of Jan Straet or Straatmaker and
Geesje Gerrits, June 2, 1691. He seems to have been a
superior sort of man, active and go-ahead, a leader among
his fellows. Geurt Corten, of Bergen, who died between
Feb.5 and June l, 1671, devised several acres of land at
Bergen to Thomas Juriansen, then but three years old.(5) In
l694 the Legislature appointed him one of the two col-
_____
(1) This name-sometimes written Jeuriaen, Jurjaen, etc.-is pro-
nounced Yoo-re-awn.
(2) Ripen is a city in the diocese of the same name; it has a venerable
antiquity, and once was a considerable seaport, until the harbor became
filled up. The Dutch wrote the name Rypen; in modern Dutch, Rijpen,
indicating the sound of the long i. It may be noted here that some early
members of the family called themselves indiferently Van Ripen, and
Van de Ripe. The latter name would indicate an original emigration
from a small town in North Holland, called di Rijp, dating from the
year 1400, and now having 2000 inhabitants, with four churches, two
harbors and a fine canal.–Terwen, 85.. In Passaic and Bergen counties
the name is almost universally written Van Riper; in Hudson county
some families write it Van Rypen. The descendants of Juriaen Thomasse
were among the last of the Acquackanonk settlers to adopt a family sur-
name, but for a century or more rang the changes on Juriaense, Tho-
masse, Aeltse, Gerritse, Jansse, Harmsse, etc., etc.

(4) There is a reference in Winfield’s Hudson County Land Tides (313,
321) to lands allotted to Jurian Tomason for ” the full Proportion and
Dividend for the Purchase Money ” paid by him, the tract being about
three acres, now intersected by Newark avenue, near Palisade avenue,
Jersey City; but this was probably the grandson of the first Jurian
Tomason.

lectors to raise .£6, 15s. from Acquackanonk and New Bar-
badoes,(1).and in 1698 he was appointed alone to assess the
Provincial tax on those two precincts.(2) He was prominent in
the Acquackanonk church, being chosen deacon in 1700
and 1705; elder in 1710 and in 1724. He was one of the
committee of five chosen in 1714 to apportion the undivided
lands of the Acquackanonk patent. By deed dated Oct. 30,
1695, for f100 New York money, Cornelis Michielse, of
the town of Bergen, conveyed to Thomas Yowrians of
Ackqueckanunk, a tract of land in Acquackanonk, “frunt-
ing to Passaick river bounded on the northeast or therea-
bout by a driftway which parts him and a lot of land
belonging to Hans Diedricks and on the sonthwest by
another driftway that parts him and a lot of land be-
longing to Johannes Michielse and northwest by the com-
mon woodland where he is to stop when he hath taken
up the quantity of one hundred acres English measure or
fifty morgan of Dutch measure according to the allotment
of Acquackanonk together with the eight and twentieth
part of the common woodland being part of the tract of
land mentioned in the patent granted to Cornelis Michielse
in partnership with thirteen more bearing date ” March 16,
1684 (the Acquackanonk patent). This interesting instru-
ment was not recorded until March 17, 1802, when it was
dimmed and stained by nearly one hundred and seven
years.(3) It was witnessed by Hans Ditrich (so he wrote his
name, in a handsome German script) and John Thomas.
In 1738 this tract was referred to as Lot No. I, in Acquack-
anonk. In 1711 he and seven others bought the Stony
Road patent of 2,800 acres, embracing the top and south-
western slope of Garret Mountain, from the steep rocks at
Paterson to the headwaters of the Peckamin river.(4) Elias
Smith, of Horseneck, Yeoman, and Cornelia his wife, and
Mickell Vandercoock, of the same place, Yeoman, and Sa-
rah his wife, conveyed to Thomas Jurianson, of Acquack-
anonk, Yeoman, by deed dated May5,1713 for .£200 New
Jersey money. Lots 4 and 18, in the subdivision of the Pe-
quannock patent, on the east side of the Passaic river,
in the western part of Wayne township.(5) When the
disputed boundary line between Acquackanonk and Newark
was adjusted, April 6, 1719, Thomas Uriansen was one of
Acquackanonk’s three representatives present.(6) By deed
dated June l, 1720, for f84 New York money, he bought
from Joshua Bush, of Saddle River, blacksmith, the grantee
being then a farmer, of Acquackanonk, three tracts of land
on the east side of the Passaic river, the first being 80
acres, south of Johannes Post; the second, 84 acres,
bounded north by Halmagh Van Houten, east by Gerrit
Juriaensen, south by Rutt Joost, and west by Passaic
river ; the third, about four acres. These premises came
from John Corteen, late of Acquackanonk, in 1716.(7)

They were northwest of Little Falls, in the western part of Wayne
township. In 1728 Thomas bought of Claas Vreeland Lot
No. 13 in the Eight Hundred Acre Tract.(1) According to an
ancient map of Goutum,(2) ” tomes yurreyanse” owned Lot
.No. 7 in that subdivision—a tract somewhat triangular in
shape, on the Passaic river, in the northern part of Passaic,
or a little further up the river. In the receipt for quit-rents,
dated Sept. 7, 1726, he is mentioned as having paid; but in
the receipt of May 17, 1727 his name is omitted. He prob-
ably died between those two dates. He was called Thomas
Juriaensen—Thomas son of Juriaen.
II. Gerrit, bap. Sept. 27, 1670; m. Beelitje, dau. of
Dirck Janse Oosten and Elizabeth Conielis, of Hoboken,
June 6, 1693; d. Sept. 4, 1748; she d. May 20, 1745 In
1718 he owned a tract of land on the Passaic river, north of
John Corta, probably south of Third river.(3) In his will,
dated March 14, l744-45 proved April 8, 1749, he describes
himself as of the town of Bergen. By this instrument he
gives to “the three children of my eldest son Jurejan
Gerretse deceased named Gerret, Altje and Belitje in token
of their father’s birthright my negro boy called Frank;” also
considerable land at Bergen ; ” also one third part or share
of my Lands lying at a Place called Aghquaquenocb* on the
. south side of a Lot I bought of Jurian Pieterse;” to son
Dirck Gerretse ” Two third parts of my Lands lying at a
place {called] Aghquaquenock, adjoining to the south side of
my Lands hereby Devised unto the Heirs of my son Jurejan
Containing in breadth ninety Rodd Dutch measure ;” also
to Dirck “all my Tools belonging to the Trade of the
Wheelwright; also my negro slave called Maremutts;” to his
three sons, Dirck, Cornelis and Johannes, all his right to
any undivided lands in Bergen or any other lands ; ” and
in case my son Dirck should Depart and remove from the
Town of Bergen then and in such case I Give Devise and
bequeath my Estate Right and Title to the Commons and
undivided Lands last mentioned to my said sons Cornelis
and Johannis and to the heirs of my son Jurejan deceased ;”
to his two daughters, Elizabeth, wife of Maghiel Vreeland,
and Leah, wife of Jacob Van Wagenen, .£140 New York money,
to be divided between them ; also ” all my certain Lot or
Parcel of Land lying at a Place [called] Acquackanuck on the
northwest side of the Land of Thomas Fredrickse and also
my other Lot or Parcel of Land lying on the south side of
the Land of the said Thomas Fredrickse,” to be equally
divided between said two daughters. His wife Belitje, and
his sons Cornelis and Johannis, were appointed executors.
The testator signed his name Gar: Jureansen(4)
III. Aeltje, bap. Dec. 21, 1672; d. in childhood.
IV. Aelt or Aart, m. Gerritje Mattheus, at Bergen,
July 6, 1695. In the New York church record of the mar-
riage his name is given as “Aelst Jeuriaenszen, j. m. van
Bergen.” He was chosen deacon in the Acquackanonk
church in 1703.

Old Nutley, Nutley, N.J.
| Landholders before the Revolution – There is tradition that before the Revolution the river front had been divided among at least five proprietors, a Van Riper, Vreeland, Speer, Joralemon and King. …
Old Stone Houses – … The Van Riper House, also on the Passaic, is a rambling old homestead of different periods of construction. It has long been known as Four Maples, from the great trees on its front slope. The original part, which has been torn down, was at the north end, and is believed to have been built before the end of the 17th century by one Bradbury, and Englishman. The house is constructed of dressed stone and is in an excellent state of preservation. The Van Riper House also has as tablet in the rear upon which is inscribed I L V R Pr The name of Van Riper (also spelled Van Reiper, Van Reyper, Van Ryper, Van Ripen, Van Reypen and Van Reipen) is derived from the town of Ripen, in Jutland, Denmark, from which came the ancestor of the family of this vicinity, Juriaen Tomassen. With thirteen others he received the Acquackanonck Patent of 1684. His grandson was Abraham, born in 1716, who married Elizabeth Bradbury, of the stone house by the Passaic. John Abraham, their son, was born in 1753, and married Leah Winne in 1776, and came to live in the old stone house. Their initials are those of the tablet which is said to belong to the largest addition to the original Bradbury house. Some years ago a silver spoon was found in the garden marked “Letche Van Riper.” Source: History of Nutley by Elizabeth Stow Brown, For more information, write to (Donations & sweat-equity, new members welcome) The Van Riper Historic Restoration Trust of Nutley (Source: |

(1) According to tradition-not a safe dependence, usually-John Brad-
bury and his wife Elizabeth came to this country from England with six
children-three sons and three daughters. He was already settled at
“Achquickenuncke ” when he bought from the East Jersey Proprietors,
March 28, 1698, for f 15 ” current silver money of the Province,” a tract
of fifteen acres on Bareskin brook; also another tract about fifteen
chains square, ” bounded south by the Dutch Men’s Land west by the
Third river and hisown land, north by Achquickenunk line,east by Sam-
uel Plum and Samuel Ward.” He subsequently bought more land from
John Plum, of Newark, (1) and at a later date became the owner of a
tract known as Lot No. 1, in the Acquackanonk Patent; also of Lot No.
13, East, in the Bogt subdivision. He had considerable mills on the
Third river, and altogether was a man of importance in the community.
The name is variously written in the records as Bradbury, Broadberry,
and in Dutch as Braet-berri, the pronunciation being always the same.
Delightfully vague rumors have come down through succeeding genera-
tions of a vast ” Bradbury Estate ” lying dormant in England, awaiting
claimants. As an aid to these prospective heirs, but particularly for the
light it gives on the title to various tracts in the ancient Acquackanonk
Patent, the will of John Bradbery is given herewith:

Thousand Seven hundred & thirty Nine in the thirteen year of the reign
of our Sovereign Lord George the Second of Great Britain ffrance &

Richard Bradbery failed to comply with the conditions of his father’s

descended to Susanna Ludlow, Elizabeth Van Riper and the children of
Mary Berry, and these heirs mutually released to each other. Jan
Berry, son of Mary, received from the other heirs a deed, Dec. 20, 1770,
for part of Lot No, 1, at Acquackanonk, on the Third river, containing 68
acres(2) Lot No. 13, East, in the Bogt, appears to have been allotted to
Abraham Berry and William Berry, who sold the same to Cornelis Ger-
ritse and Cornelis Van Riper, April 20, 1772, the former taking a one-
third interest, and the latter two-thirds; Jacob Cornelius Van Riper,

Dirck-Thomas-Juriaen Thomasse and PietertJe Post had
child:
1. Dirck, m. ist, Claasje Vreeland, b. and living at
Wesel, Nov. 30, 1755; 2nd, Fytje Wagenen, wid. of
Dirck Vreeland, Oct. 14, 1787. This elderly couple lived
on the River road, south of Passaic, on opposite sides of the
Mineral brook road. As they were comfortably settled in
their own homes, they concluded to remain so , accordingly,
Dirck would call upon his wife, spend a sociable evening
with her) and then return to his own home. It does not
appear that they disagreed in any way; neither has it been
explained why they married at all, under such circum-
stances. This singular arrangement excited a great deal of
curiosity and comment in its day, but the parties most con-
cerned paid no attention to the comments of their neighbors
and continued their friendly but unconnubial relations for
fifteen years. Through Dirck’s farm the Mineral Spring
brook meandered. A minor tributary so abounded in tur-
tles that the Dutch called the adjacent elevation at Brook
avenue, Schellepute-berg (2)-Turtle Hill. Dirck died in-
testate, May 23, 1802, aged 69 yrs., 6 mos., 26 days, and his
four sons-in-law-Walling Van Winkle, Cornelius Sip,
Adrian M. Post and John Merselis-were appointed ad-
ministrators, May 25, 1802, just two days after his death.
His widow survived her quasi husband sixteen years. The
will of Sophia Van Riper is dated Jan. 14, 1809 ; witnessed
by Garret Van Riper, Helmagh Sip and Richard Riker;
proved May 13, 1818.(3) in it she devises all her estate to
her three sons-Richard Vreeland, Hermanns Vreeland,
and Ralph Vreeland, including 107 acres at Horseneck,
known by the name of “Wortelrly ,” also a lot of land in
the “houttine.”(4).

IV. Cornelius, m. 1st, Margaret Vreeland; 2d, Eliza-
beth Vreeland, Nov. 15, 1779. By deed (unrecorded), June
11, 1767, Cornelius Aeltse conveyed to his son, Cornelius
Van Reypen, for £300 and other causes: “The frunt part
of my lott of land on which I now dwell beginning at the
northeast corner of my land at a rock at Passaic River,
from thence westerly all along my line to a stone planted in
the ground along the highway which leads to the Falls near
the northwest corner of my barn, from thence southerly the
full breadth of my lott to another stone planted on the line
between me and Hendrick Post from thence easterly as my
line runs down to Passaic River, thence all along Passaic
River northerly to the place of Beginning: Containing six
acres be the same more or less,” the said Cornelius Aeltse
reserving for himself and his family during his natural life,
“the use of so mutch of the edifices on the premisses and of
the premisses and appurtenances as he may judge necessary.”
He doubtless wished to carry on his occupation at the
forge so long as he might have the ability to wield a ham-
mer or shoe a horse. Cornelius Van Reypen appears to
have been a man determined to have his rights, but at the
same time willing to assert them peaceably. In May, 1795,
he and his neighbor, Henry Post, had a controversy with
the representatives of the estate of Peter Vreeland, de-
ceased, as to their most westerly line, under the Wesel moun-
tain. The matter was left to John Elias Vreeland, Paul
Powlison and Abraham Willis, who made an award, estab-
lishing the beginning place “at the southwest corner of
Henry Posts line, eighty four chains distant from the cross
line of the division of the Wesel lots on a course N. 53. 12′
W. and from thence running N. 37. 48′ E. along marked
trees (mentioned) to stake and stones in the line of heirs of
Elias Vreeland deceased.” The administrators of Peter
Vreeland thereupon executed a release (unrecorded), May
25, 1795, to Henry Post and Cornelius Van Reypen, of all
the land east of the line so established by the award. A
like dispute between Cornelius Van Reypen, on the one
side, and Michael H. and Cornelius Vreeland, owners of
the Dree Hoek or Lot No. I, West, in the Bogt subdivision,
on the other part, regarding the line between that Lot and
Lot No. 13, in the Wesel subdivision, was referred to the same
arbitrators, who made a report (unrecorded) determining
the line; whereupon Michael H. and Cornelius Vreeland
executed a release (unrecorded) to Van Reypen, May 25,
1795, of all lands south of said line. The will of Cornelius
Van Riper, made March 13, 1798 during his last illness,
and proved March 31, 1798, is commendably brief:
In the Name of God Amen. I Cornelius Van Riper of Weasal in the
township of Accquacknonk, County of Essex and State of New Jersey,
being of sound mind and memory, but weak of body, do make and pub-
lish this my last Will and Testament: First, my will is that all my hon-
est debts shall be paid out of my Estate by my Executors herein after
named. Second, I give and bequeath to my children by my first wife
Margaret, namely, Seithtee, Rachel and Pegge, to their heirs and assigns
forever sixty pounds, moneys they have got by their mother’s Estate,
and all the personal Estate that is left, which was brought by their said
mother to me, to be equally divided between them share and share alike.
Thirdly, I give and bequeath to my two child by my last wife Elizabeth,
namely, Mary and Jenny, to their heirs and assigns forever, one hun-
dred pounds, money they have got by their mother’s Estate, and also
Page 163b
all the personal Estat now in being, which their said mother brought
to me, to be equally divided between them share and share alike.
Forthly, I give and bequeath to my first children Sithtee, the children
of Rachel and to Peggy, my two daughters and my daughter Rachel’s.
children, my negro wench Sary, and her daughter a small negro girl,
named Nance, to their heirs and assigns forever, the value of them to
be divided in three parts equally to them the said Sitree, Peggy and the
children of Rachel. Fifthly, I give and bequeath to my two daughters
Mary and Jenny, children of my last wife my negro wench named Laur,
and my negro boy named Tom, to them the said Mary and Jenny, their
heirs and assigns forever. Sixthly, I give and bequeath my negro man
Jim and the rest of my personal Estate to all my children; that is to say :
To Sithtee, Peggy, Mary, Jenney and Rachel’s children to their heirs
and assigns forever, to be equally divided between them, that is, the two
children of Rachel to have one equal share. Seventhly, my will further
is, that all my real or landed Estate; that is to say; The farm I now-
dwell upon, with the appurtenances, and a small lot of woodland lying
at the foot of the mountain to the west of a lot of meadow of Ebnr Blackly,
shall be equally divided between all my children, namely, Sithtee, Peggy,
Mary, Jenney and Rachel’s children, to them their heirs and assigns for-
ever share and share alik; that is to say: The two children of Rachel,
Peggy and Abigel, to have one full share laetween them: And I do
appoint my son in law John Berry, and my son in law John McCarty,.
and Cornelius Vreeland Esqure, Executors of this my last Will and Tes-
tament In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this
thirteenth day of March, in the year of our Lord one thousand seven
hundred and ninety-eight. (1)

Garrett D. Van Reipen of Jersey City, N.J.
| GARRETT DANIEL VAN REIPEN was born in Bergen, now Jersey City, January 26, 1826. He comes of the old Dutch stock. When a boy, Mr. Van Reipen attended the old Columbia Academy of Bergen, and afterwards finished his education in a private school. Most of his early life was spent on the farm. In 1855 he engaged in the grocery trade. After following that business for three years he gave it up. In 1855 he was elected one of the first aldermen Hudson City ever had. He served one year. In 1856 he was elected mayor of that city, succeeding E. R. V. Wright, who was the first mayor. In 1863 Mr. Van Reipen was re-elected,and filled that position continuously until 1871. When Hudson City was annexed to Jersey City he was elected to the office of alderman, and was president of that body for two years. At the breaking out of the war Mr. Van Reipen was among the first who responded to President Lincoln’s call for volunteers in the three months’ service. He went out as a lieutenant and was made captain of Company A, Second Regiment, on the field. At the close of the war the regiment was reorganized as the Fourth Regiment, N. G., N.J., with Col. Hiram Van Buskirk in command, and Mr. Van Reipen was made reg-imental paymaster. In 1862 Gov. Olden appointed Mr. Van Reipen quartermaster at Camp Olden, located at Hudson City. He held that position until the end of hostilities. In 1868, when the Hudson City Savings Bank was incorporated, Mr. Van Reipen was elected treasurer of that institution, and in 1870 he was made president and treasurer and has presided in that capacity ever since, to the entire satisfaction of stockholders and others interested in the bank. Mr. Van Reipen has been a director in the Hudson County National Bank for a number of years. He is also a member of the American Institute and the Holland Society, of New York City. He is a trustee of the Hudson City Savings Bank,a member of the county board for equalization of taxes, He has filled almost every local position of honor and trust, and commands the universal respect of the entire community.

lived at Rutherford. His wife was probably a sister of
Metje Brouwer, who m. Christophel Van Rype in 1746.
When the latter couple had their child Gerrit baptized,
Sept. 4, 1764, the witnesses were Christophel Jurrianse and
Annatje Brouwer, showing that friendly relations still sub-
sisted between the families, notwithstanding the change in
name. Tradition says that there was a great lawsuit be-
tween these two men, and each being called Christophel
Van Rypen, dire confusion ensued; hence, it was concluded
to call one of them Van Rypen, and the other Jurrianse.
Another version is that there was a hot quarrel between
them, and Christophel Jurrianse got permission to change his
name to Van Rype. Tradition adds, with a particularity
that ought to be convincing, “And it cost him a big lot of
money, too.” As a matter of fact, however, his children,
with one exception, retained the name Jurrianse, or Yere-
ance.

to escape the contagion his family carried him out on his
bed, placed him aboard a periagua, and sailed up the Pas-
saic river. At a point just below Passaic Bridge, a benevo-
lent female, seeing their pitiful plight, invited the fugitives

ism); he came to this country in 1790 establishing himself
in New York as a merchant tailor. He subsequently re-
moved to Orange county, where he died. On his hundredth
birthday he received a large number of friends, and was
bright, cheerful and vivacious. He remarked to his son
that afternoon that during the sixty-eight years of his mar-
ried life death had never entered his door; neither child,
relative, servant or wayfarer had ever died under his roof!
His venerable wife survived him but four months. She
often told how her father and mother, after the Revolution,
journeyed through the wilderness and over the rugged
mountains, via Shamokin, to the Wyoming valley, to make
their home on the frontier, but were glad enough to get
back to the Wesel neighborhood with their scalps and little
possessions. As a girl she was remarkably lively and
attractive; in maturer years she was a good mother and
thorough helpmeet. Issue:

fequently;walked from Acquackanonk out to Waterloo, N.
Y, to visit his brothers and sisters, upon whom he would
drop in as unceremoniously as if he lived in the next village,
and after a social call of a dlay or two would bid them a
cheerful “Good morning,” and start back on his homeward
walk of two or three hundred miles. On one occasion he
extended his pedestrian journey as far as Cincinnati, in the
early days of that beautiful city. When he was past eighty-
five he thought nothing of walking from Passaic to Pater-

—–, aged 54 years. He lived on the east bank of the
Passaic river, near the Wesel bridge, where his father had
lived before him. He was a blacksmith by trade. The
neighbors called him “Siemen’s Yerry”-Simon’s Uriah.
Jurie’s nephew, Simeon Van Houten (son of his sister
Lea), having become involved in one of his periodical en-
counters with the law, persuaded his uncle to go security
for his appearance when wanted. In order to indemnify
his uncle, Simeon and his wife Mary conveyed to Jerry Van
Riper, Feb. 13, 1809, two tracts of land in Paterson, one at
the southeast corner of Main street and Broadway, l00 feet
on Main street, and 50 feet deep, formerly owned by the cel-
ebrated Dr. Peter Wilson, of Columbia College ; the other
lot adjoining the same on the south, 55 feet front on Main
street, and 210 feet deep.(l) Simeon finding his situation se-
rious, “jumped his bail.” Word came to Jurrie one night
that Simeon was in hiding in Trenton. Early the next
morning he hitched up a great bald-faced horse, the fastest
and most enduring in his extensive stables, and with his
friend Henry I. Van Blarcom, also one of Van Houten’s
sureties, started for Trenton. It was a drive of sixty or
seventy miles, over rough country roads, but the big horse
got them there the same night. “Sim” was found en-
entrenched in an upper room, fully armed, and threatening to-
shoot the first man who entered. Jurrie called for an axe,
smashed in the door, and dashed in; Van Blarcom threw
his arms around Van Houten, and Jurrie secured him. The
horse was never of much use after this extraordinary drive.

Carl Van Riper (b. 1879)
| Carl Van Riper
CARL VAN RIPER has put himself in the front ranks of lawyers in Western Kansas and has developed a large and influential practice at Dodge City. His career has been identified with Western Kansas since early childhood, and he has the spirit of enterprise which is the characteristic of the people of this region. A native Kansan, Mr. Van Riper was born at Iola December 27, 1879. His father, Joseph Van Riper, now a farmer in Ford County, was born September 2, 1854, in Illinois. Joseph’s father, John, was left an orphan and was reared by a family in Massachusetts. In 1859 he brought his family to Fort Scott, Kansas, but on account of the border troubles in that region, as described on other pages of this history, he moved the following spring to Iola. There he enlisted in the Ninth Kansas Cavalry and was in active service three years in Arkansas, Texas and Mississippi. His record is largely the record of the regiment, which is given elsewhere in this work. He was mustered out without ever having been wounded or captured. Joseph Van Riper was about five years old when the family came to Kansas, and he grew up and married at Iola. In 1885, when his son Carl was six years of age, he moved to the vicinity of Yates Center in Woodson County, and in the spring of 1887 went to the extreme western portion of the state, to Hamilton County. There he took up a claim and managed to exist, though with extreme difficulty, until 1891. He finally gave up the attempt to prove up his homestead. He encountered the scarcity of water and he found the country poorly adapted to farming. All that region was open land and was chiefly used for grazing cattle. While there he acquired a little stock, and not being able to succeed in farming his only improvements were a sod house and dugout stables, such as the majority of homesteaders had. From Hamilton County he moved to Clark County for two years, and there his efforts as a farmer were more successful. He then bought a half section of land in the southwest corner of Ford County, and has since lived there, having made a well improved farm. Joseph Van Riper married Delila George, who was born in West Virginia, in 1857, a daughter of J. W. and Jane George. The George family lived for several generations in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and became extensive slave holders. All of J. W. George’s brothers were in the Confederate army, while he was a Union soldier, with a West Virginia regiment of infantry. He saw some strenuous service with the Army of the Potomac at Antietam, second Bull Run, Gettysburg, and was at Appomattox Court House when Lee surrendered and was one of the soldiers who secured a couple of small sections of the famous apple tree under which the terms of surrender were concluded between Grant and Lee. This apple tree has always been famous. It was a massive tree before the surrender, but in half an hour’s time not a particle of it was left, even the roots and ground surrounding them being torn up and carried away for relics. The children of Joseph and Delila Van Riper are: Carl; Frank, a farmer and stock buyer and shipper in Ford County, who is married and has four children; John, a lawyer practicing at Denver, Colorado, married and has one child; and Herbert, who is still single and living at home. In the several communities of Western Kansas above mentioned Carl Van Riper had his early experiences and acquired an education in the common schools. He graduated from the high school of Dodge City in the spring of 1900, following which he taught school a year at Minneola. In the fall and winter of 1901-2 he was in the business college at Salina, taking the shorthand and typewriting course. Returning to Dodge City, he entered the law office of Button & Scates, old practitioners of the county, and while doing their stenography applied himself diligently to the study of law. In 1905 he passed the successful bar examination and was admitted to practice, and then continued with the firm as an employe. In 1907 he entered upon his duties as county attorney, to which he had been elected in the preceding fall as the successor of Judge Finley. Mr. Van Riper proved a vigorous prosecutor and maintained to the full the record established by his predecessor against law violators, especially in the enforcement of the prohibitory law. Mr. Van Riper served two terms as attorney for Ford County. On retiring from office he formed a partnership with L. H. Madison, and the firm of Madison & Van Riper still exists and handles much of the legal business in the local courts, and Mr. Van Riper has also tried cases before the Supreme Court of Kansas and the Federal Court. While in the office of county attorney his first case was the prosecution of a party for stealing a white mule. After several continuances, and after the prosecuting witness and others had left the country, the case was finally dismissed. Mr. Van Riper has been a figure in local politics for a number of years, is a republican and cast his first presidential vote for Roosevelt. He is a member of the Masonic Lodge and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, and was superintendent of the Methodist Sunday School at Dodge City for six years, until he resigned in 1917. He is now a member of the board of trustees of the church. While a great deal may be expected from Mr. Van Riper in the future, since he is still a young man, his success has already been such as to constitute him a prominent lawyer and man of affairs. He owns some wheat land in Morton County and at 801 Fourth Avenue in Dodge City he has a modern home. This home was first built by him in 1905, and in 1916 he remodeled it, making a two-story, eight-room home, with concrete terrace and surrounded by a fine lawn and trees. On June 21, 1905, Mr. Van Riper married Miss Stella Imel, who was born in Jefferson County, Indiana, July 25, 1877. Her father, P. M. Imel, who was born in the same Indiana County October 24, 1847, is a pioneer merchant at Dodge City but now retired. His father, Thomas Imel, was a Virginian, while the grandfather, Peter Imel, was born in Germany and at an early day came with a brother and settled in Virginia. P. M. Imel married Margerite Lyon, daughter of William and Margerite Lyon, who were early settlers in Indiana, P. M. Imel’s mother was Elizabeth Leatherberry, who died in Ford County, Kansas, in 1897, at the age of eighty-one. Her father, Thomas Leatherberry, came from England. Mrs. Van Riper was a teacher of the primary grade in the Second Ward School in Dodge City for eight years. Mr. and Mrs. Van Riper have one child, Ruth.
