Personal Life
According to his obituary in the Adelaide Advertiser, Cripps was the cousin of the British Cabinet minister Sir Stafford Cripps and had been a deputy sheriff in the Cape Colony before coming to Australia 30 years before his death. Cripps is described in the obituary as living at Simpson Road, Wattle Park and as having been a schoolmaster, initially in Queensland and then at St Peter's College, Adelaide until 10 years before his death.
The same obituary however states that he was "captain of the Team in one of the Test Matches", which is not borne out by Cricketworld's CSW database.

Famous quotes related to personal life:
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To ‘see the light’ too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Wherever the State touches the personal life of the infant, the child, the youth, or the aged, helpless, defective in mind, body or moral nature, there the State enters ‘woman’s peculiar sphere,’ her sphere of motherly succor and training, her sphere of sympathetic and self-sacrificing ministration to individual lives.”
—Anna Garlin Spencer (1851–1931)
