Barry was a brakeman and later a yardmaster for CNR. I am not in contact with this family.
Likely named for Robert Barry Dickey of River Philip and Amherst who was a Father of Confederation. William Ripley, a grandson of first-generation John Ripley, married Robert Barry Dickey's sister Margaret so Robert Salter Ripley was (distantly) related by marriage.) |

I believe that a photo from my mother's collection was a Langille Family Portrait. The family lived at Springhill and son Warren became a well-known minister in Cumberland County. I am in contact with one of Emma's great granddaughters.

Florence Isabell Ripley
b. 23 Aug 1879 in Nappan (Source: birth record affidavit sworn from family Bible at NSHVS) d. 22 Oct 1978 in Boca Raton Florida (Source: Florida Death Index 1877-1998 and US Social Security Death Index 1935 to current at Ancestry.com) Buried Boynton Beach Fla.

Clarence Oborne Davison
b. 21 Nov 1875 (Source: birth record at NSHVS) d 14 Sep 1943 buried Highland Cemetery Amherst NS (Source: Edith Seaman Ripley family history) William Arthur Cooper Charles Vern Hubbard |
Florence and Clarence Davison lived at Halifax but Florence moved to Florida to join son Arthur after her husband's death. My mother had told me that her aunt Florence had married 3 times and died at Boca Raton but I thought she was mistaken until I discovered that Florence re-married at age 72 and again at age 76.

Estella Maude Johnson
b. 17 Jul 1886 (Source: from 1901 census) Appeared as Edith on a census record but was called Stella d. 1976 in Truro (Edith Seaman Ripley's family history) |
William was living in Nappan 1925-1934 so at the time of his father's funeral 1928 but then possibly at Glenholme Colchester where he is buried. His wife was from Bible Hill Colchester so this may just be her family burial plot.
