I will always be grateful to my parents, Tommy and Beulah Nipper, and to my great-grandmother, Bessie (Tucker) McKeehan, who shared so many stories and memories and helped me as much as possible with the family tree. Also, I appreciate the stories and help from Aunt Harriet (McKeehan) Wyatt, my grandmother Susie (McKeehan) Nipper Blakemore, Aunt Lula Fairbanks, and Aunt Pearl Clayton. Thanks to Leon McKheen for help with descendants of Bill and Sarah (Shell) McKeehan!
