Mourning Pin<br /> <br /> The photo of this &quot;mourning pin&quot; was taken from my Smith family genealogical records. Oral history says the design of this pin is made from the hair of those children of my G Grandparents ( William George Spear Smith and Elizabeth Ann Keeping of Brigus) , who died young. Apparently such pins were common back in the early 1900s.<br /> <br /> John Cornick<br /> Halifax, Nova Scotia   Submitted By: John Cornick
