Message Board Post:
Thank you so so much, Arline for these obits - this family has some interesting stories
but it has been difficult to get info on all the family members. We believe that
Clarke's grandfather (Matthew Pettipiece)and my husband's great-grandfather
(Matthias Pettapiece) were cousins but the families eventually lost track of each other.
We live in Edmonton and when I found that Clarke's father had started a newspaper here
in 1894 at the age of 19 (moving from Calgary), I just had to find out more about them.
And throughout my research on the many Pettapiece/Pettipiece/Pettypiece etc. families,
there have been several who went by the name of Pat even though their given names had no
connection to that name.
Again, thanks so much for copying the obits - you really made my day.
Irene
