I am looking for descendants of the Dipper Harbour, NB SPEAR family in connection with our grandmother's settlement in her home in 1906-about 1910.

Just resettled. I saw the girl in her new home and think she is well pleased. If she will do her best will have good home.

I have made contact with the families who took in Emily's brothers, Edwin and Fred and look forward to meeting the McMichael and Corscadden families this summer.

Emily married John E. Chestnut 24 October 1910 in St. John Co., NB.
I hope somebody out there has fresh leads for me.
