I am looking for a Ernest maurice Best. He was the president of Springfield College in Massachusetts in the 1930's. Born 1880, died 1963. I live in Parrsboro, Nova Scotia,Canada. he died in Florida and I believe he was buried there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have an Ernest Maurice Best in my files. He was born 04 Dec 1880, ON (likely near Merlin), son of Edward Ernest Best and Elizabeth Foxton, both formerly of Merlin, ON. Elizabeth was my maternal gt.aunt. My mother knew him as Ernie Best. He and his family lived in Manitoba.
If this was your Ernest Maurice Best, I would love to hear from you and exchange information.

Hi Dan,

Ernest was the brother of my Grandfather. He had two brothers and three sisters, all of whom I knew. He also had two sons and two daughters. Also whom I knew. I am presently taking care of his son George Edward who is 94 and in a bad stage of Alziemers.

Regards,

Jim

PS: My brother Steve has sent you some material but I will email you a complete geneology in Word Document form. It needs a bit of up dating but otherwise it's pretty accurate.
