May!

On 10 May 1851, my great-great-great grandparents, John Lord and Jane Lang, got married in Trinity Church, Newark, New Jersey.

On 10 May 1890, John Lord died at age 61 at his home of 164 Grant Avenue, East Newark, New Jersey.

So, on this anniversary date, I reflect on how if either of these events had not happened when they did, I may not be sitting here right now.
