Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

Between 16 May and the morning of 18 May Kehoe killed his wife Ellen 'Nellie' Price. He moved her body to a farm building before setting off incendiary explosions in their house and farm buildings. About the same time he had arranged timed explosions in the new Bath Consolidated School building. In all 44 people died and 58 were injured in the explosions. After the bombings investigators found a wooden sign wired to the farm's fence with Kehoe's last message "Criminals are made, not born".
(18 May 1927)



There are 3359 births, 3911 deaths, 1122 murders, 494 disasters and 2072 other events about 5713 people in 6416 places until today.

Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar is an ongoing project since 1985 by DDV.
