SOON WE WILL DRAW THE MEMORY DAY WINNING
TICKET FOR 2011 AND GIVE AWAY PRIZES .
"Memory Lane" tickets will be started in
2012. A favorite homestead will be remembered each year too, by B.T.M.A.
Wouldn't it be a coincidence if sometime
the person remembered once lived ON THAT "MEMORY LANE"(it could happen if
the ticket-holder bought two tickets...
WHAT COULD BE A GOOD PRIZE FOR THE WINNER OF "MEMORY LANE " ?? A FREE MOWING & CLIPPING,TO THE LANDSCAPE, SOUNDS LIKE A STARTER PRIZE, ANY OTHER
SUGGESTIONS? I BET ANOTHER COULD BE FREE
BUSH ? let us know , if the winner is to
receive other donation prizes from out-

I had a visitor at Chapel Hill Museum in the fall. This lady was interesting in knowing more info on her roots.Her father was a Clarence Leroy Nickerson and was married to a Martha Lowe of the Hawk? Clarence's father was Joseph Watson Nickerson of Shag Harbour any info would be welcome. Contact [email protected] this lady now lives in the US. Thanks

I will get right on to this one ,Eric , I have been researching Lowe
lately. The Nickerson lineage should be quick to find. Thanks for
asking for help!

sally

2/26/2013 12:47:53 am

what I found is: Martha A. (Lowe) (1880-1926)[dau: Robert E. Lowe
& Emma (Smith)] married Clarence L. Nickerson 1879-1925 son of
Joseph W.8 Nickerson ,[son of Isaiah 7, Isaiah 6,Abner 5 Nickerson
Wood's Hr,NS] Martha & Clarence lived in Yarmouth,NS 1901+1911 Census. if I was going to Yarm. I would stop to the Museum there,
& follow up this. Maybe they can e-mail archivist there to see if a
file has been done on that family when they lived there 1901-11,
maybe lots...The Smith lineage of Emma (married Robert E. Lowe)
is from James & Jane (Atkinson) Smith, [James= son of George &
Mercy J. (Nickerson) Smith] if they need more let me know...S

We also have some very good news, give or take a few weeks concerning parking area on the edge of highway, or taking part of the building off for parking...,anyway, we'll see if possibly the owner
next door will donate space for a few cars to enjoy this old building
needing tender loving improvements in 2013. Hmm... what colour
should we splash on it? ANYWAY, fundraising tomorrow at SOBEY'S 11-2 , then on to buying 2328 Barrington !

Lots have happened for others, we're back to square one folks. NO
PARKING , so NO PURCHASE. The next endeavor was short lived
as well for Atwood 'rent to own' choice from folks moving. We're NOT
moving into the ALBERT DOANE place either. ....... Monday morning LOOKING AT another place more suitable? You may say
'they all are ?' Well, we need parking #1. Priority. #2 Priority is land
We must have a barn area or storage for the rustic items we'll collect. #3. There must be stability in our plans, but the last choice

Great day, now have to see D.O.T. for their input...I can see how a
