Genealogical History Of Hudson And Bergen Counties New Jersey
FREDERICK RIPPE

Originally published in 1900
Cornelius Burnham Harvey, Editor


Edited by GET NJ, COPYRIGHT 2004

FREDERICK RIPPE is one of the best known citizens of the Town of Union, Hudson County, and enjoys the confidence of the community, as has been shown by his election and service for three terms as a Freeholder of Hudson County, N. J. He is in every sense of the word a self-made man, and a typical example of the German-American of sterling character and enterprising spirit who comes to the United States, carves out his own fortune, and becomes a substantial and public spirited citizen, in perfect accord with the genius of our democratic institutions, and himself actively participating in their maintenance.

Mr. Rippe was born in Germany, February 27, 1849, and is the son of Costan Rippe and Adelpeid Glade. His ancestors, on both sides, were established in Germany for centuries, and in the public schools of that country he received his education. In 1867 he came to America, obtaining employment in New York City. In 1872 he successfully engaged in the grocery business there. He subsequently established a hotel in New York City, of which he was the proprietor. He was successful in this venture, and, having acquired property in Union Hill, Hudson County, N. J., he established himself in the hotel business here. Since 1891 he has conducted the hotel near the Bermes Brewery.

In politics Mr. Rippe is a Democrat and an influential leader in the councils of his party. Besides holding membership in various political societies, he is Past Master of Hermann Lodge, No. 268, Free and Accepted Masons, of New York City, and a member of Gramercy Lodge. Ancient Order of United Workmen.

He was married, in this country, to Adelpeid Wilkens, and has three children: Charles Rippe, Arnold H. Rippe, and Martha Rippe.
