Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Great, Great's?

One Great Grandfather was born in 1874, the other in 1870. What's crazy is I'm only 52. Both died before I was born.

Yes! I remember two. GGrandmaw Coble, on dad's side died in 1960 and GGranpaw Guthrie, on mom's side, died in 1959.

I only remember 1 grandmother and the other is a faint memory. My greats and both grandfathers were all gone before I was born.

I remember one set of my great-grandparents, my father's mother's parents. They were born in 1876 and 1877, died in 1957 and 1964. He was a hard old egg from what I remember, a farmer and a tobacco buyer. He raised registered Hereford cattle, and was pretty well known across the region.

Had all mine on moms side with the g-grandfathers passing when I was about 5 and the women when I was in my late teens. One of the great grandmothers still had an uncle that made it to over 100 and passed when I was in junior high. He would always tell us stories about hunting bear and stuff that Hadn't been possible in our area since the early 1900s. Wished I would have asked him more, didn't realize until after he passed that his dad had been at Gettysburg, would've been cool to have heard a 2nd hand account of that
