I do not know the exact date of her birth, of her marriage to my grand father, nor have I now before me the exact date of her death, These, after all, are minor matters birth, death and burial-these are only worth while and important in so far as they relate to life. Life Is the thing of vital and tre mendous importance and signillcance. I shall, therefore, write of Grand ma's life-her life here and that which I know she is taking part in now. She was my grandfather's second wife and he was her second husband. She first tmaririel a Prince. lier maid en name was ('1unnuingham. She had no children of her own, by either husw band.
