But, there is treachery and deceipt to be brought to light. Dick had a brother that lived right across the road from him, Jamie, and wife Hazel Jeans. They had one daughter who survived, Dorothy Jeans Wilson.
"Dick" Jeans was a sad man who outlived his only son and then his wife Bessie. But Dick had four well-educated grandchildren, one of whom was his namesake.
On the sly, he and Dorothy cooked up a scheme to shelter his farm under Dorothy's name while his grandchildren were young and influenced by their mother. Dorothy promised grand-nephew Truman Earl Jeans and his siblings not to worry, that Dick's farm would go to them in due time. But that wasn't what happened. Was she tricked by her husband Glenn Wilson, was she ill? She died before Glenn. The result was that Glenn Wilson took Dick's farm. Glenn who was not kin and most assuredly not in the affections of Dick Jeans, got his farm, to loss of Dick's four grandchildren. Only perversion of justice and probate would take a farm from a man's only blood heirs and give it to a childless man.
Grandpa, your grave will be forgotten, your name will disappear, and memories of you will grow old and die.
