Tostin Clevin was declared dead of the Black Plague on the ship Amelia in 1840. He was saved from being buried at sea only because friends won permission to bury him in New York. He revived in an undertaking establishment and lived for another 58 years. A castle in Corsica originally was part of Napoleon's palace of the Tuileries in Paris. This is the castle which was burned by a French mob in 1871. After that fire, Duke Jerome Pozzo de Borgo, whose family had long feuded with that of Napoleon in Corsica, bought the debris and then spent $400,000 and 15 years rebuilding the castle. He did it simply to display a symbol of his victory over his old enemy. Believe It or Not!
