The Case of the Mysterious Gun Barrel

IMG_3386.jpg

Somewhere in York County, New Brunswick lies a stone wall between Kingsclear Reserve no. 6 and St Anne's Roman Catholic Church in the town of Kingsclear Parish. In 1963, a surveyor named R.O. Semper found an unofficial survey marker between these two parts of the community in the form of a gun barrel lodged in the wall. 

Unlike official markers, this barrel has no record of its placement, only a date of finding and a rumour by the locals that it was used to separate the Church from the Kingsclear First Nations. Is this true? Why a gun barrel? Come on an adventure to find some answers.
