So my grandmother's grandmother was born in the same part of Ohio where we stopped and ate at a Cracker Barrel restaurant on our way to Pittsburgh 160 or so years later. My grandmother's grandfather HR working for a time as a lightning rod agent ... very interesting niche profession. Fun to be in a realm of family that I remember my grandmother speaking about when I was young.
