I remember my grandfather as an old man sitting in a rocking chair reading. He was tall with white hair and an easy grin. He died of a stroke when he was 90. I imagine he had had hypertension for many years, but in those days it was a problem for which there was little treatment.

Notes for MARGARET ANN WRIGHT*:
My paternal grandmother was born in 1855 in New Delhi, New York, became a teacher and I believed moved to Iowa when she married my grandfather. She was a short small lady with lots of energy and a keen sense of humor. Among her many talents were that of being a painter. We have a number of her pictures in our home. I have many happy memories of her down on the farm near Truro, Iowa. She would tell me stories and get me involved in various fun projects. She was 4 years older than my grandfather, but in my mind acted younger than he did. Like him though she was hypertensive and died of a stroke when she was 90, 4 years before he did.
