James Merry met his maker 127 years ago today. I had the whole story authenticated, who owned the bull, who owned the land, why he was up there. Then the old stories wipe out the memory banks.
A few years ago this was highlighted in red paint. Black is more somber.

The death of James Merry by a three year old bull owned by Patrick Nugent in a field in Dogtown owned by Curtis.
James Merry was a fisher man back in days of yore
But he left the blue in ninety-two for the trade of matador
So he got a bull and he raised it up full
And he learned the corrida lore
Then he died like a toad on the Dogtown Road
Bleeding from a stomach gore
Please elaborate, I want to hear the whole story.
