When my grandfather passed many years ago, his children and their kids (my cousins) descended like a swarm of locust on the house and contents. My aunt, his only daughter, called us crying that they had snatched a bunch of stuff already and if we wanted something of his we needed to get up there right away (2 hr. drive). She didn't have the nerve to tell them to stop or bring it back. She did grab some stuff and put it aside for us. We were in the antiques biz at the time and appreciated what she saved, most of it we still have. When we got there the cousins were having a yard sale and my aunt being the executor at last stood up to them and told us to take anything else we wanted. Found a few things but the stuff I remember that belonged to my father was gone already. (as kids we stayed in his room in the house and all his old stuff was still there in the big walk in closet). All of Grandpa's tools, tool boxes, jacks, test equipment, etc. was all grabbed up by the greedy cousins and their dad. He had a cool bar room in a separate room attached to the house that had some neat old beer advertising and mounted heads and fish, all gone. Of course any liquor and beer disappeared. They took his cars too, a couple of big Buicks, one fairly new at the time, with almost no miles on it. My family was in Florida living and had no desire for anything in the house so got no backing from them. Very disappointed in that side of the family, the true colors sure came out.

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
