Charles Coghlan was born in 1841, in Ireland. His family was poor.
He was sent to England to study, but some years later when he returned home with a good university degree, he decided that he wanted to be an actor!
His father was angry , but he was determined.
Charles left his family and in some time he became a first-class actor; he was a naturally talented one!!
He died on stage, in the summer of 1898 in Galveston ... He was fifty - seven years old.
A week later he was buried in a lead - lined, but in 1900 the great hurricane hit Galveston. A lot people died and the cemetery was washed into the gulf of Mexico.
Eight years later, fishermen off the cost of Prince Endward Island, saw a big box ... It was a coffin with a bodystill inside ... He was Charles Coghlan!
in the end, he was buried in the cemetery next to the small church where he had been baptized in 1841!
