20 Mar 2017: Son Robin is in Penang searching for the grave of Daniel Caldwell, his 3x grandfather. He writes of his findings:<\/em><\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
So I found him, kind of. On a tip I visited the Northam Road Protestant Cemetary in George Town – final resting place for many of the colonial up and ups.
\u00a0<\/div>
Scoured the cemetery looking at every gravestone. Many are now illegible, others have wasted away to rubble, still others destroyed during the Japanese bombings and occupation during WWII. Found a few Bruces, Lawrences and Mitchells, but no sign of Daniel.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Next stop was the heritage society. They had a fabulous pictorial encyclopedia on the cemetery, complete with photojournalistic write-ups on all the known quantities there. Still no note of Daniel, but in perusing the appendices I found his name listed in the “additional known burials” section, meaning there was record of his burial but no (legible) grave to speak of.<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Cool to know he’s there buried somewhere tho.\u00a0<\/div>
\u00a0<\/div>
Also found an eerie headstone for an R. Bruce (see attached), and Sir Francis Light, the founder of the colony.<\/div><\/div>
