Grandma Grace had just given birth to her first little girl when she received a notice that she had inherited a Castle in England. She was the daughter of Abraham Cook and Emma Jane Rains. Her grandfather, on her mother's side, was the cause for this inheritance. That Grandfather was George W. Rains.
It was to be passed down to the nearest descendant of his line. This was sure a struggle for her because she never had traveled much and thinking of this opportunity took her mind a sailing. She always read alot growing up and enjoyed history, but this was truly and exciting thing to be presented to her.
Grandma Grace talked to her husband and he said she needed to write them and see exactly how that she came to inherit this castle.
She even talked to her parents and grandparents who lived within a mile from her home. It was to cost her to travel to this castle and she would leave behind family and friends. It took Grandma Grace a whole week to decide to let it be passed down to the next of kin.
We all wish that the documentation of this had been securely kept but at the time it was better to forget and move on with her life, so she destroyed it.
As grandma's granddaughter I have sought in vain to find the link to the English castle. So far I have only found that the Rains family shipped in from England.
