They even give out certificates for long standing membership. So if his membership was not current I doubt they would have paid for it. It may have also been a 'template' tombstone. From my observation so far on this other mining organizations at the time in the US it also seemed somewhat competitive / conflictual. If you are good with the answer can you accept or let me know if you are looking for more. | |
