The weekend was wonderous. I took my two boys to a family reunion over in West Virginia. A gathering of the descendents of 8 children of my Great-great grandfather on mom's side. Cousins coming out of the woodwork. And the cool thing was the story behind Great grand pa.
He disappeared in 1898 when he was 38 years old leaving his wife and children. No one knew anything about what happened. Skeletal remains were found 30 years later in a cave, but were not identified and were subsequently buried. One of his son's and later a grandson kept investigating and eventually figured out the remains were his. In all likelihood he had been murdered. This past weekend, we finally held a funeral for him. You can read the entire story- Here
Hope you all have a great week!
