British Major’s Wife’s Grave was in Dagshai

At the time of British rule in the country around 1909 a British Major George Weston used to live in Dagshai with his wife Mary. Major was a doctor and his wife was a nurse, but they had no children.

Distressed by this, both of them met a saint. The saint blessed both of them in the form of a talisman, after some time both of them got the good news of becoming parents. But Major’s wife died in the eighth month of pregnancy.

At that time Major buried his wife and unborn child in Dagshai and made a very beautiful tomb for them. It is said that the marble used in this tomb was imported from England.
