My great great grandfather was Stephen my great-grandfather was James my grandfather was Delano( Del) my father was Wendell I also remember frequent trips into Chipman's mercantile when I was young my family also owned shares in the company, my grandfather Del owned a jewelry store in Provo UT I did not know Grandpa Del he died when I was ten months old my father and my grandmother didn't talk about him much other than he was a very good man and like many others lost his fortune in 29 and that during the Depression he earned the name two Bits because every time somebody would bring in a watch for repair they would ask him how much and he would reply to bits I understand my Grandpa Del and my grandmother Hazel were married in the temple but I can remember my family saying during the Depression he would cut his cigarettes in half so a pack would would last him longer. If anybody knew my grandfather I would appreciate any stories or information about him also anything about my great great grandfather James Chipman and why he was excommunicated from the church signed Mr. Ardath K.
