The man that started it all

gravesite of Jim Malay
I had a glimpse of the resting place of “James Peter Subtino Solien” also known as “Jim Malay”. Though he has since past on, his name continues to live on over 10 decades. He was born on 1853 and died at the age of 70.Most of the people that directly knew him have since passed on and one would never know his personality and character. He came as a foreigner, got married to two sisters from Tatana Island had 20 children and never returned to his homeland. What striking to this day after four or five generations is that his Asian features continue to flow along the bloodline. Pictured his is grave site where it was commemorate in 1999.
