Founder Elihu Yale Buried in Wales Churchyard
The founder of Yale lies buried in Wrexham North Wales near Hawarden ten miles from Gladstone's residence. The inscription on his grave details a world voyage and travels. Yale, like Harvard’s founder, remains largely shrouded in myth with few facts known beyond parish records and early gifts to the colleges. A Cee’s Cough Balsam ad appears amid the inscriptions and a note on Maine’s rare “coon” cats ends the fragment.

GREAT IS ARMENIA AND ITS CHRISTIAN ROOTS
Washington Correspondent notes Armenia claims humanity’s cradle and early Christian origins. It traces Noah’s landing on Ararat, Eden’s site, and Ophir links, recounts persecution of early apostles, and explains the Armenian church's independence under the catholicos in Etchmiadzin with archbishops in Sis, Jerusalem, and Constantinople.
