Give the Man a Cigar!

Andy pointed out something I thaught was the case at first also....

When I first saw the original of this photo I thought my Great Grand Father had a "Handlebar Moustache". I guess my unconscious mind said: "He has a "Bowler Hat" that must be a Handlebar Moustache too...

John Joseph Burns (circa 1908)

So here is a enhanced closeup that shows that not to be the case. It is in fact a Cigar.

Welcome Homie!

Glebie-Glue!

Glebe Ho. stands for "Glebe House".

A Glebe or Glebe House was in the Roman Catholic and Anglican church traditions. The glebe was an area of land belonging to a parish, the revenues from which were intended to help support the parish.

A Glebe-house is a rectory built for the parish priest, vicar, pastor, or rector, usually at church expense.

Also : archaic : Land specif : a plot of land. Also : land belonging or yielding revenue to a parish church or ecclesiastical benefice.

My guess is that "yielding revenue to" is what my ancestors were up to. They were Coopers by Trade and more than likely would have been employed in the making of barrels, to store or ship the "yielded" product of Flax or Grain.
