RE: Nelson Vernon Turple
The following is from my family history (Ada was Ada May Green,
daughter of Charles Vincent Green and Margaret Ann (Pineo) Green,
married to Havelock Henry Mosher, son of Daniel Mosher and Margaret
(Fritch) Mosher of St. Martins, NB):
When Ada looked into the gray eyes of her newborn babe on June 22,
1895 she knew that he was different. There was a gentle, peaceful
wisdom about him as if he was already an old man. Ada knew that this
child was destined for something great. She just didn't know it was
the Great War. Charlie and his buddy Nathan Vernon Turple who lived
on Turple Hill made the journey from Apple River, Nova Scotia around
the Bay of Fundy to Sussex, New Brunswick where they signed up on
September 15, 1915. Charlie was just 20, Vernon a year older. Fate
had decreed that the future belonged to neither young man. Vernon
survived the war but died of tuberculosis in 1923 at the Nova Scotia
Sanitorium in Kentville. Ada and Lock's beloved Charlie died of
meningitis January 2, 1916 on a troopship in Halifax Harbour while
waiting to ship out with the 64th Battalion. He had a lot of company.

descendants of George Rector & Mary Sparks. Robert was a grandson
of this Rector. Wives of Robert were Jane Dow and Sarah Dow, both
daughters of William Dow & Mary Lamb. There is no MacAlonan or
MacAloney wife for this man. I'm not sure where this information
originated, but I have never found any supporting documentation.
This is my maternal line and I've done quite a bit of research on
it. However, don't ask me to look anything up, because everything
is packed away for the summer!
