View submission: What's the longest unanswered question in your family's history?
My grandfather never learned to drive. He was raised in a wealthy family and had a chauffeur and valet. He came to America and for a while my grandmother drove him. When he was finally making enough money, he hired a driver and conducted all his business being taken from place to place. When he became ill and learned it was cancer, the chauffeur took him many places as he wrapped up his affairs.
Finally, he died. It was a total shock to the family that he had cashed in all his assets the last few weeks of his life. Life insurance - cashed in. Took out a sizable mortgage on what had been a paid for house. Emptied his bank accounts. Left his wife in her 70’s with nothing in the bank, no insurance, and a mortgaged house. No one ever knew what he did with the money. The driver was shocked; the mistress was enraged; his wife was baffled.
