or Beson, Joe (died about beginning of 1940s), vagrant and eccentric. He travelled about the country in the Martintown area and elsewhere hauling a toy wagon and pretending that his legs were horses. He was one of the characters who made life more interesting for an older generation of Glengarrians and who, whatever reservations with which they may have been regarded in their lifetime, were remembered with affection and even respect after their deaths. He was killed by a train at Monkland.
