re: #264 HappyWarrior

My Granddad retired when I was 5, and since then has been doing genealogy work.

Sad thing is, My 3x Great-Grandfather outlived her daughter and husband. She died 1918 (Spanish Flu?), and the husband survived, but broken. Fell into despair and alcoholism, he died after being arrested for being Drunk and Disorderly, and falling off the prison ship drunk.

My Granddad would be born just 7 years after my 3x Great-Grandfather died.
