  For purposes of a research project, I am trying to locate the grave site of a four-year-old boy, Percival Randolph Lippy, who died during the years he was in the Yukon with his gold-mining parents, Thomas and Salome Lippy from Seattle, 1896-early 1900s. An unmarked photograph shows a small, picket-fence enclosed gravesite but has no identified location. Where might I find information about this child?

  I continue to seek any leads as to the adoption of Percival Randolph Lippy by Thomas S. Lippy and his wife, Salome Lippy of Seattle, WA. Purportedly, the adoption was made in San Francisco, CA, around 1895-98. Percy died during the Klondike Gold Rush and is buried in Lakeview Cemetery in Seattle. Any information you may provide will be most welcome. My eMail address is now: drdreagin@gmail.com.

  Some sources believe that Percy Lippy was born in San Diego, rather than in San Francisco and may have been adopted as early as 1891. He died in the Yukon but was later transferred to Lakeview Cemetery in Seattle where he is buried.

  Tom lippy was my great uncle. My grandfather was there during the summer with a little dog sled. I didn't know they had adopted a child. What happened to all that wealth? Are you writing a book?
