My grandfather was a very quiet man. He passed when I was 6 yrs old. All I recall was that he smoked a pipe all the time. My cousin Joan Stearns told me (she is older and recalls much more) that my grandmother threw him out of the house many times. It got to be a bit of a town joke that "Old Myron's out on his own again." I know there's a story there but I don't know what it could be.
