I had a nice visit with my Aunt Francine (Elder) Ormiston (my Dad’s twin sister) from Fort Qu’Appelle, Saskatchewan on Monday, Feb. 16. She has loaned me the small brown photo frame with photos of George Leonard Good, (son of John Good & Hannah McLeod) & wife Charlotte Merritt Slip (daughter of James Slip & Phoebe Merritt). George Leonard Good born 14 Sept. 1831, died 29 Dec. 1890 and married 21 Jan.1857 to Charlotte Merritt Slip born 4 Dec. 1836 and died 9 Sept. 1885. They had one son, James Elbridge Good, my great grandfather.
I remember this little brown picture frame always sitting on my Grandma Gretta (Good) Elder’s bookshelf in the living room. Now Aunt Francine keeps it on her bookshelf. Charlotte’s photo is on glass & George’s photo is on tin stuck to glass. Rather strange each photo was done differently. That’s why George’s photo is darker. Then each photo is framed with a decorative tin frame.

Take a look at this handwritten family history on the Slipp family. Aunt Francine [Ormiston] had this 7 paged photocopy in her collection. No idea who wrote it nor who has the original. I love the second paragraph talking about getting “pepper in his wooden shoes”. What does that mean I wonder?
Rick, do you have any idea what that is referring to? This sure adds a more personal touch to Leonard’s journey!
Rick Crume’s reply:
Thanks for sharing the seven-page handwritten history of the Slipp family. The pages are quite legible. Marke Leonard Slipp, formerly of Alberta and now of Nova Scotia, sent this history to me several years ago. But he might not have sent the whole thing and it wasn’t this handwritten version.
I don’t know the tradition behind getting “pepper in his wooden shoes,” but other facts in this manuscript have been proven. We know from newspaper articles from the time that Leonard Slip was indentured to a potash maker in New York and that he later had a tavern at Blizzards, near Hampstead, N.B. I’m quite sure he was born in Franconia, Germany–not Holland, but maybe he embarked for America on a ship leaving from Holland.

Hello everyone. I am sending these pictures of The Merritt and Slipp Cemetery as I have seen in so any places on the internet that the cemetery is listed as the Slipp Cemetery.
As you all probably know the Merritts and Slipps inter-married but this cemetery was always located on Merritt land not Slipp land. The Merritt house, a large white two story located to the left of the small bungalow beside the cemetery was owned last by Benjamin Merritt who died in 1981 as left to Batemans as he had no children. The Merritt house was passed generation to generation. I have plot maps showing who owned these properties. The first Leonard Slipp owned a plot about 3 minutes from this cemetery which is still owned by a Slipp descendant.
