Selected Families and Individuals

Notes

Benjamin mckim TIPPETT

To distinguish the subsequent generations of Benjamin Tippett s from one another, I have used their mother's maiden name to denote them. It was family tradition that they not have middle names and that the first born son of Benjamin be named after him.

Hallie Edith Dow

d/o Amasa & Hanna Dow; listed as parents on marriage index. 1901
Census, Diligent River, family #74, lists Hallie age 12, b. 17 Oct
1888. Edith Tippett has that she was born at Glosgow Mtn.
Hallie was 23, single when she married Benjamin.
They had 7 children death location from Herald on line.
Having been born at home made it difficult to prove age when she went for her pension.

Cecil Amasa TIPPETT

Source: from notes written by Benjamin Tippett.
Other sources say he was named Cecil Edwin

Sydney St. Clair Harris Thomas TIPPETT

Other sources say name was Sidney Sinclair Harris Thomas
I think the confusion stems from Sydney St Clair McCully

Gregory Eugene Frederick BURNETT

He was legally adopted by Roy and Jeannette Burnett at the age of 3 weeks. They were in their mid fifties at the time. Later, they both developed health problems and, fearing that he would be taken away from them, agreed to let Karl and Trudy adopt him. He began living with us at about age 6. He was not short of adoptive parents-everyone wanted him. At the time of his death he was employed by Chandler Sales in Saint John, NB where he was universally liked.

I always wanted a brother and just when it seemed like it would not happen, you were sent to me. It was only a short while that you were with me, but your memory lasts always.
Till we meet again
