fuuuuuny ha ha Andrew ;). Actually, i believe he died of a
stroke........or just old age. I can never remember which (i really didnt
know him since he pretty much stayed in the same town he lived in all his
life).
It's too bad he passed away and was all the way in Kansas. His side of the
Family was pensylvania dutch, and it would have been interesting to know
if he spoke that dialect of German. I know my great grandmother (his wife)
spoke Dutch, but she never taught my grandmother or her other children.
