P. S. Happy Birthday!
A few weeks ago I made contact with a Roberta Ripley who is married to a descendant of Robert Ripley and Isabella Beane through their son Henry Ripley. She and other family members were planning a trip back east to see Cape Breton and Amherst and do a bit of genealogy touring in addition to their other sightseeing. I asked Roberta to see what she could find out about the R. S. Ripley Firetruck in New Waterford which has led to the discovery that the firetruck is now in storage at the Firefighter's Museum in Yarmouth. Roberta sent me a photo of the photo hanging in the New Waterford fire station which I have posted on the Robert Ripley section under on the Photos page. Thanks, Roberta, and have a great holiday! Based on a conversation I had today with the son of a former New Waterford Fire Chief I have also made updates to Robert Salter Ripley's Obituary page.
P. S. Happy Birthday!

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
