(Her father's name is unknown, but she went by the McKeehan surname. The dates above record the only female named Alice and buried in the Matlock Cemetery where Alice was known to have been buried. The birth date above approximates census records for her; therefore, at this time, it is believed that the tombstone data reflects Alice McKeehan's data. If anyone can verify, prove otherwise, or provide any data on her, please let me know.)

I will always be grateful to my parents, Tommy and Beulah Nipper, and to my great-grandmother, Bessie (Tucker) McKeehan, who shared so many stories and memories and helped as much as possible with the family tree. Also, I appreciate the stories and help from Aunt Harriet (McKeehan) Wyatt, my grandmother Susie (McKeehan) Nipper Blakemore, Aunt Lula Fairbanks, and Aunt Pearl Clayton, all deceased. Some of their memories and stories will be recorded and preserved on this website.
