MILTON HAROLD TIDD

Milton Harold Tidd (27 April 1890 - 19 November 1918) was the elder brother of Walter LeRoy Tidd (my great great grandfather). This undated picture most likely comes from about 1894, making Walter about 2 and Milton 4. Their younger brother Ken didn't arrive until 1900. Milton sure sported long, shiny hair.

Although undated, this photograph probably from around 1908-1910.

This somewhat mysterious photo reported shows Milton holding the as-yet-identified "Dorothy," sometime around 1915 to 1917. Milton sems to have been a rather dapper fellow. Milton died at the close of World War I.

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.
