I will always be thankful for and appreciative of my father who helped with gathering this information. Another most helpful researcher on these many lines was Cousin Ross Nipper of Barberton, Ohio. He was undaunted in his efforts in spite of serious illness and constant pain. They are deeply and sadly missed. Others who helped on the information above were Jessie C. Hyde deceased of Athens, TN, son of Elsie (Nipper) Hyde above and J. L. Nipper of Knoxville, TN, son of John Franklin Nipper above.
