…that a 16-year-old peddler, Lion Lundore, was murdered by his older fellow peddler in 1902 in Tenecape, Hants County. His murderer apparently confessed to jealousy as the motive, as the younger man was making more sales. Lion Lundore is buried in the Moose Brook Cemetery. His murderer was hanged in Windsor.
