Family History

When I was back in Florida I picked up on some more history of my Mom's side of the family from my Uncle as we were going through tons of old photos.

I found out for the first time that my Grandmother was married before she met Grandpa. Apparently she had married someone "above her station" and his family didn't approve so she eventually got divorced.

I knew my grandfather had been married before and he got divorced because she had been cheating on him. I never knew the essential detail. Apparently Grandpa found out she was sleeping around and he cooked up a plan with his brother Jiggs. Jiggs' real name was Cleon, so about anything was better than that but I digress. Grandpa has Jiggs go over to his house while he is out and, Jiggs apparently has little trouble sleeping with Grandpa's wife. Voila, you can't get any better proof than that and they get divorced. Grandpa would tell me "She was rotten to the core(Corps) but she was good to the Army and Navy."
