THE SEVEN MEN - GRAVES, MAYBE

GRAVES OF SEVEN MEN BLOWN UP IN DYNAMITE ACCIDENT
NIPIGON ONTARIO
NO DATE GIVEN
 

THIS SLIDE WAS JUST SCANNED FROM OUR ARCHIVES . AUGUST 24, 2013


I PRESUME IT GOES WITH THE GRUESOME JOURNEY AND SEVEN MEN FOR ST. MARY'S POSTS

HOWEVER, WE HAVE FOUR CROSSES  FROM THAT BURIAL (1909) IN OUR MUSEUM AND THIS PHOTO SHOWS GRAVE STONES.

THE CROSSES WERE IN ST. MARY'S SHED.

NO SEVEN HEADSTONES EXIST IN ST. MARY'S GRAVEYARD. HOWEVER THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH HEADSTONES FALLING OVER SOME YEARS BACK SO THEY MAY HAVE BEEN REMOVED.
