Joseph Kilbride

Joseph J. Kilbride was a grocer and an art collector from Doshoweh who favoured the separation of the North American Union from the British Empire.

A clue found in Buckley Bay, Vancouver, led Thomas Bushell to Doshoweh in search of the Sons of Liberty conspirators who had stolen The Two Georges painting. When Major Shikalimo showed Dr. Kathleen Flannery a list of possible suspects in the region, Flannery recognised Kilbride's name. His fondness for art made before the founding of the Union made him a high probability.

When Bushell and company came to Kilbride's house, the doorbell played the opening notes of Beethoven's "The Massacred Innocents," another sign of anti-royalist sentiment.
