very cool!
Gt, isn't it!
Imagine sitting down at a coffee shop next to Tyler's "grandson!"
And his Grandfather was born in 1790!!!
Wow, talk about spanning time.
I knew people who were born in the 1880's, 90's and up when I was very young and I just barely remember my great grandfather who died at 94 and was born in 1862.
And I remember a guy from Sweden who used to visit the neighbors and was a champion ice skater and he was real old, probably born in the 1870's. I think his name was "Enos" or something like that.
All my mother's people were born in the 1890's and neighbors born in the 1880's.
When I was a young boy I remember half the houses around having coal fired furnaces and the coal trucks backing up to the chutes in the back of houses and a great racket as the coal went down the chute into the cellars.
I wonder how many times per day the homeowners had to shovel coal into the furnace?
