Tombstone in Wellesley, Ontario, Canada stood unsolved for more than 100 years

In memoriam Henrietta, Ist wife of S. Bean, M.D. who died 27th Sep. 1865, aged 23 years, 2 months and 17 days and Susanna his 2nd wife who died 27th April, 1867, aged 26 years, 10 months and 15 days, 2 better wives 1 man never had, they were gifts from God but are now in Heaven. May God help me, S.B., to meet them there

I thought it was a word search and the two names were hidden somewhere in it and was like "a hundred years to solve this!? Wtf!?"

Hmm quite interesting 😊

It's a zigzag spiral.

I half expected the messages to be taunts from the husband saying how he killed them both or something 😬 at least it was just 90% numbers!! Still feels like it's not the best way to honor the dead than to make them a game
