Happy 161st Birthday, Grandpa!

 

Tonight depending on your age and beliefs, please drink a toast to/say a prayer for the soul of/think a warm thought of my Grandfather, Maximilian Weismiller, who was born in Independence, Iowa 161 years ago today.

My family is so spread out in time that some people have difficulty believing it. In 2017, on St Patrick's Day, I mentioned it was my Grandfather's 154th birthday. A friend of mine said that couldn't be right, that I must mean my great grandfather.When I pointed out that my father was born in 1910, he got the point

For the record, Grandpa was born in the same year as the Battle of Gettysburg! R+I+P. Memory Eternal!

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
