First may I compliment Jim Roache/Roach/Roche for a 'first class' rant about grave stones and cement aries. During a recent vist to our backyard in BC by a cousin from CB NL we discussed the beautiful tree which was loaded with large red berries and agreed that in NL this type of tree is named a 'Dogberry Tree' the same tree in BC is named a 'Mountain Ash'. After reading about the comming 'long cold winter' we have filled our oil tank and stocked the fireplace wood supply. Next week we will start on the "Mountain Ash Berry Jam and Wine" Smiles and Cheers, Lloyd Date: Mon, 6 Oct 2003 23:07:55 -0400 From: "Jim Roache" <jfroache@sympatico.ca> To: NFLD-LAB-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [NFLD-LAB] No more headstone photos????? ===== 1784...a quote from page 129 of the 1938 book titled �The Story of Newfoundland� by J.A. Cochrane, B. Sc. ..(Authorized by the Department of Education for use in the schools of Newfoundland)..... �Owing to the attitude taken by some of the governors there had sprung up a very regrettable sectarian rivalry and even hatred in many parts of the country. It will serve no good purpose to tell the story of the origin of the quarrels, but the year 1784 must be noted as the beginning of better things. In that year the Governor issued a proclamation which allowed all persons to worship as they pleased.� end quote (lghr note: This textbook was used from 1939 to abt. 1957 and had a deep impact on the minds of those children who had a 'middle school' interest in NL History) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
