when the day began, i had no idea that i would be putting together this particular post - a day that began bleak and dismal turned into an incredibly beautiful sunny balmy day that called for sunny dispositions and light fare otherwise - in any event, after going out and about in the blue skies for several hours, my only intent was to just dabble with a bit of creative verse upon which i'm trying to work - but my attentions became distracted and i ended up browsing the net for a bit, coming across, i'm not sure how, an obituary for my paternal grandfather [papastrap] - it is one i had found online several years and had downloaded into my genealogy records - but i came across it online a few hours ago and began re-reading it and realized for the first time several little oddities in the information -
the main story of his death is that papastrap, born june 15, 1884, at the time of his death june 2, 1946, lived in winnfield louisiana with my grandmother [mamastrap] - however, when he died, he was in coffeyville kansas with my father accompanying him by car from louisiana upon the death of my grandfather's brother - my great uncle had just died two days previously of a heart attack, on friday, may 31, 1946 [within hours of june 1] and papastrap and my father had traveled to coffeyville for his funeral which was to be monday - the night before the funeral, papastrap went to bed in his hotel room about 8:00 pm and my father retired to his own room - the next morning, at 8:00 am, my father went to papastrap's room where he discovered my grandfather dead - also from a heart attack, as it turned out - papastrap was 61 years old - his brother who had just died was 60 -papastrap had seven [7] siblings, including his brother who had just died * -
