Hi Ron:
You¹re possibly correct about the snow removal in that I didn¹t proof read
it before I posted it. I copied the obit several years ago and just noticed
the typo now. In the obit, it should be Gordon B. not Jordan B.
Thanks for picking up on it. Below is correct.

OBITUARY: Captain Burpee Tupper
Captain Burpee Tupper, one of Parrsboro's well known master mariners, passed
away on Tuesday evening, April 18th after a lengthy period of health.
Eighty-eight years of age, Captain Tupper was born at Scott's Bay, Kings
County, a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Bowlby Tupper. He has resided
in Parrsboro for the past forty-four years. Following the sea from his
youth, Captain Tupper, before coming to Parrsboro, was engaged in the
passenger boat service between Bay of Fundy ports. For many years, he was
master and owner of a number of well known tug boats operating out of this
port, until his retirement several years ago. He is survived by his widow,
the former Linda Tupper and by one son and one daughter, Charles Tupper of
Toronto; and (Nita) Mrs. Stanley Rogers of Oxford. Another son, Captain
Nathan Tupper predeceased him in January 1948. There are several
grandchildren and great grandchildren. The funeral service was held from his
late residence at Whitehall on Friday afternoon, Rev. Carl Jones
officiating. Interment was made in the Baptist Cemetery.
