Other Info or Events:
Horatio had a special love for his Daisy and was never the same after her death as a result of a child birth problem.Her death came a short time after my father,Moritz Horitz.Horatio didn't raise Moritz as that was left to Estelle Emily,whom did a splended job until the brown bottle caught up with dear ole dad. Although he wasn't the only one with that problem.
The family became much closer as the years went on as they all lived closer to each other in the ruel area in Monico,Wi.
Grandpa Grunert died doing what he loved to do and that was to be working in the woods and his trusted dog by his side. Fact is it was his trusted dog that was the one to go get help from Delbert,although it was too late.
