Family history

Visiting with my great-aunt Marnette last month I took a picture of the obituary she had of my great-grandfather, killed by a drunk driver. He was out trying to develop a cheese business, supporting a German immigrant. At the time, German Americans were not too popular, so he was championing an underdog. Alcohol is a poison, killing quickly or slowly, but indiscriminantly.
