--------------- (Great grandmother used to tell an amusing story about the family moving and bringing the twins with them. This didn't happen just once, but several times, until when they moved the last time, the twins graves were forgotten until it was too late to move them again--winter weather or something. Wherever that place was, is where they lie. She often wondered about the new tenants faces when they went to dig their flower garden and found the boys.)
