Anecdote

My fiancé’s grandfather, E.A., was a businessman in Alabama. He also traveled up north in the 1930s or so to the Chicago area. E.A. married and divorced two women up there, and had a girl with the first wife and a boy with the second wife. He died a wealthy man in the south before my fiancé was born, and the daughter, much older than her younger brother, was the executor of his estate. She usurped all of the estate when my fiancé’s father died a few years later, leaving my fiancé and his brother with no legacy of their grandfather.
