The mystery of a 90-year-old urn filled with ashes found washed up on a beach may have been solved – and descendents may have been found. The large, dented copper urn, engraved with ‘William George Kennedy 1870-1925’, was found on the Oregon coast by a 17-year-old.
Alex Reed, who made the discovery while climbing over rocks along the seafront, contacted an Astoria funeral director to ask for help. Now they believe they have traced a great granddaughter of Mr Kennedy living in England who is ‘thrilled’ with the discovery, ABC News reported.
