Notes:

Oral History as Told by Ralph Douglas Matheny

Dad once told me that before his mother would agree to marry his father, she insisted that he sign a paper stating that he would not drink alcohol.  He said this was because his mother's father, Alonzo Olmstead, was a heavy drinker and Dad's mother refused to live with someone who drank to excess.
