Randy, my x-wife's Grandma was named Gladys, and was french, and from Bangor ME. My Grandma's Grandma was french, and from Bangor ME. She passed away in her early 50s, and Grandma never knew her. Grandma's Grandpa was a Dr from England, (Dr John Stacy) and when he got older he moved to town, (Becker MN) and opened a pharmacy, and lived in an apartment above. Grandma, her two Brothers, and Mom and Dad lived with him until she was 10 (1919) then they moved to Minneapolis.
Grandma was proud of her Grandpa John, and would tell the story of the day a Sioux Elder brought his wife in because ahe was dying. Grandpa John saved her life, and they remained frends for the rest of their days.
