this is my favorite bit of presidential-adjacent grandparent-involved trivia since i learned that grover cleveland's granddaughter was a philosophy professor and she invented the trolley problem
Don’t you love just grabbing a thread and tugging at it? Following names and dates and movements wherever they lead is the best way to spend a gloomy winter day, imo of course.
Wow, that was a pretty interesting back story. So many people made a living off of carrying around, and displaying a mummified body, and then it mysteriously disappears in the 70's.
