The non-medical information on his death certificate was provided by Tom's brother, Joe, of Jonancy, Kentucky. The death certificate says Tom died at Kings Daughters Hospital in Ashland, Kentucky on September 30, 1922, of tuberculosis of the kidneys. He had spent eight days in the hospital prior to his death. The undertaker was J.W. Mock Company of Ashland, and the place of burial was stated as Elwood, Kentucky. However, the actual grave is in the Roberts Family Cemetery in Jonancy, Kentucky.

He was born in Pike County, Kentucky October 17, 1883 to Levi and Elizabeth Mullins Trivitt (24).

He married Cora Keesee of Pike County, Kentucky on December 17, 1905 by John Keesee (52).

On January 25, 1912 he and Cora bought 98 acres in Hager, West Virginia. On February 14, 1912 they sold 54 of those acres (53). The remainder was sold on February 21, 1918 as residents of the Village of Smiths Ferry, Beaver County, Pennsylvania (53).

His World War I draft registration card, dated September 12, 1918, says he and his family are residents of Midland, Pennsylvania, and he is an inspector for Pitts Steel Company.

The 1920 U.S. Census shows him and his family living in Glasgow Borough of Beaver County, Pennsylvania as of January 13, 1920. He is shown as a steel mill foreman. They owned their home, as opposed to a mortgage.

Why he and his family left what appeared on paper to be a good job and good life to move back to Kentucky is not known.
