Death of Hon. Schuyler Grippen

The subject of this brief sketch died in Cooperstown [Otsego Co. NY] on Friday, March 1st, aged 77 years, after a very short illness.  He was a native of Worcester in this county [Otsego Co. NY] and resided and practiced law in his native town till 1836, when he removed to this village [Cooperstown].  He subsequently filled the offices County District Attorney and Surrogate, and in 1851 was elected a Justice of the Supreme Court of the State for the unexpired term of Judge Morehouse, deceased.  His life had been one of hard study from his youth, and since maturity of attentive professional duty in the several relations in which he had been placed.

Judge Crippen's character is too well known to require any effect at elaboration.  The same modest worth that marked his youth adorned his riper years. The same kindness of disposition to all; the same attachment to friends; a lover of his country, and by the very necessity of his nature a religious man, and therefore a Christian; long a strict and scrupulous attendant on divine worship in the church of his choice; liberal to his views, his whole life affords an example of right principles, integrity, persevering industry, and fidelity to truth and himself, over difficulties of formidable character, and from which a mind of less energy would have shrunk.

Judge Crippen married for his first wife Miss Cook, sister-in-law of Mr. Chedell, a prominent citizen of Auburn.  One daughter, Mrs. John Havens, is the only surviving issue of this marriage.  He married for his second wife a daughter of the late Isaac Cooper, Esq., brother of the novelist.  From this union, two children, a son and daughter, are residents here.  Cooperstown Rep.
