I was devastated to hear of the passing of Art Ripley of Maccan late last night. He had recently been admitted to hospital in Amherst and I was hoping to visit him there next week. Art and his wife Rachel are the last two descendants of William Ripley and Hannah Coates still living on the original homestead. Art was my 2nd cousin once removed and he loved to chat about the old days. A few years ago, Art was hospitalized in Springhill and I called him several times a week because he was just such a sweet and interesting guy. He told me many interesting stories about life in Maccan. Here's a link to his obituary.

AuthorHi there! My name is Mallory Burton and I started researching the Ripley family in 2011. I'd describe myself as a careful amateur who's more interested in story than names and dates. I hope you enjoy my website and blog. I also have a public Mallory/Ripley tree on Ancestry with over 4,000 names. To contact me, please comment on any one of my blog posts. Archives
