(2) P.R.Venkatesh's marriage (20/4/1942 and birth of Vishwanath(Vishwanna) (25/7/1942) and Kashinath (23/1/1943) - (P.R.Ramaiya's diary )

Grandfather P.Ramaswamaiya
(P.R.Vishwanath)

He passed away in 1928 - see the other post where my father (his son) P.R.Rmaiya records his death.It seems he was about 52 when he died. This puts his birth around 1878 (Mahatma Gandhi's birth ~1969) . He worked as probably a clerk/accountant for a timber merchant in Palahalli near Mysore . He must have had good knowledge of English since one of the important letters (which was located later ) my father wrote to him in 1920 is entirely in English

His signature from an old telugu book - Apart from us (his descendents),this signature is an independent proof for the fact that he lived ! In this he exists apart from us! In a way it makes him real for us !

As far as I know, we do not have any of his pictures. We also do not know whether he was ever photographed !

Front page of the book also reproduced below- Adi Shankara's stotras - 18-1 ?(Prajotpatti samvatsara) Must be 1871 !
