This is my great grandad.....born on December 11, 1844 and a copy of his obituary from The Collingwood Enterprise dated April 12, 1923. He was affectionately known as DTN or Down Town Nuisance. He braved the Atlantic twice...once sailing from Liverpool, England and once from Glascow, Scotland. He worked for T Long & Bro. for 45 years....was a member of the Presbyterian Church in Collingwood and established the Presbyterian Cemetry there. His obituary says that is it due to his constant care and tending that it was such a beautiful grounds. I have been to this cemetry and have taken photos of my relatives headstones. Take note of the movie that was showing back in April of 1923.

That was an interesting obit. I clicked on it and could read it fine. I've gone to lots of old cemetaries, too, and taken pictures. It's all so interesting.
