Smile Grandfather

Grandfather lived to 102 and Grandmother 94. He was born in 1868 and passed away in 1970. Owned a farm and was a Sheriff in 1900. Never sick and thought we worried too much. Was the kindest and most gentle person I ever knew. He was French and Grandmother English/Dutch. Just great persons. Never drank and did smoke a pipe with cigar clipping he ordered from a cigar store. We were all blessed to know them and have them as Grandparents.
