GREAT AUNT EDITH TIDD

Edith Woodhouse Knapp Tidd (1905-1978) was the wife of my Great Uncle Ken. Here she is with her collie Sandy, Summer of 1950.

KENNETH TIDD

The youngest of my great grandfather's brothers, Kenneth Struble Tidd (1900-1990), in 1932. The second shot is Ken with his bride, Edith Woodhouse Knapp Tidd (1905-1978). I don't recall them, although apparently they did meet me as a child, and my Dad regularly mentioned him.

WALTER TIDD

Great grandfather Walter LeRoy Tidd (5 April 1892-3 January 1948) [other sources have him listed as 1895-1947], husband of Florence. His father was Milton Tidd (14 September 1855 - 16 November 1906) and his mother was Anna Wiesling Hankinson Tidd (b. 30 March 1862). Milton appears to have come from Courtland County, New York, while Anna was from Trenton. Walter had two brothers: Kenneth Struble Tidd (29 May 1900 - 27 May 1990) and Milton Harold Tidd (27 April 1890 - 19 November 1918). Great uncle Ken was apparently the first of our Tidds to actively pursue some genealogy; his wife was Edith Woodhouse Knapp Tidd, who died in 1978, and who I vaguely remember having met. They are buried in First Presbyterian Church of Ewing Cemetery, Ewing, Mercer County, New Jersey. Ken was a Sons of the American Revolution, although he linked his membership to a Private Abraham Cook.
