    1. [NYFULTON] Death Date - Johnstown
    2. Joanne Gaudio
    3. Please, can anyone help me with a death date in Johnstown. I've looked all over for an obit or something with no luck. Clarence Farmer RIPTON, born 24 Jun 1880, son of James H. Ripton and his first wife, Gertrude Farmer, and brother of former Johnstown mayor, Percy A. Ripton. Clarence F. Ripton married Catherine Emma Lair (1887-1966), daughter of Charles and Mary Lair, in Johnstown in 1908, and they lived there in 1930, when he said he was a grocery store manager, although it did not say in which store. An article I received from the Fulton Co. Historical Society about the Ripton Brothers Grocery Store's 40th anniversary in 1934 did not mention Clarence F.'s name, yet he was alive in 1936 when he was mentioned as a surviving nephew in my great-grandfather Benjamin Henry Ripton's obituary. Most of the family is buried at the Johnstown Cemetery, but he isn't on the online transcription. Does anyone know anything about this family? Thank you for any help. Joanne Gaudio
