In this case Tom, but both Tom Horn's & Doc Holliday's tombstones are incorrect, fwiw.I guess that settles the January 21/23 debate.

Look at what a man can do to reach his 1911th post. Tom drove all the way to Utah, to snap those pictures and post them here, so he can earn the title of Mentor!!!! LoLOriginally Posted by IslandersFan
Just proves the lengths I will go to for you and this Forum, John.
I didn't know that. Sure, I guess stone engravers could make a mistake, or be given poor information. And without birth certificates this will be a hard one to prove or bust, as they say on Mythbusters.Originally Posted by OD*
But I'd put money on the January 23rd date. Again, we're talking about Mormons here, a group of people who are fanatical about genealogy.

I'm with you Tom, I think his grandson would know and as you stated, with the Mormons history for genealogy.

OK, this is as good a place as any to post this:
Some years ago, a certain gentleman, by the name Bob Prince, owner of a shop called Cast & Blast (a Browning dealer among other activities), somewhere in US (I'll try to find where), emailed me and told me he was the great-great grandson of John Moses and that he was happy to see how well I presented his grand-grand father in M1911.ORG. He was so happy he wanted to offer me a 1911 as a gift.
Well, indeed this fine gentleman purchased a 1911 for me, and then per my request, he send it to my friend Alan Tillman in Texas to customize it to my wish. Alan then returned the pistol to Bob, who then had it exported to Greece, to me. I still have that pistol of course, and I treasure it.
My problem is that after some years, during which we were in contact with Bob, I lost him. My emails bounced, his web site was nowhere to be found and that was it.
So my request for you gentlemen, is this: If you know Bob, or if you have met him and you know how I can reach him, please let me know. I want to speak to him again, even though I am afraid that he is no longer among us.
If you have anything, please let me know.

That is hilarious! You must be a real fun guy to hang out with!
Woooo.....now that I've stopped laughing so hard my eyes are watering, on a more serious note, John Browning and his family were/are very serious about their faith and as someone pointed out, geneology is a primary part of the belief system of Mormons. I won't go into why cause that would violate the rules.
BTW - does my purchase of a new Kimber Eclipse Ultra on the 21st qualify as a commemoration to this great man? I'm going to say yes...
Thanks!Originally Posted by SharkZF6
It sure does! And may I say that "I HATE YOU"??Originally Posted by SharkZF6
Nothing personal, I just hate it when you guys brag about buying a new pistol, while I am still waiting for the new law, which will allow me to have up to 5 of them (from the current stupid limit of two only).
TY for sharing
