"Another person who had a place in the family, it was Uncle PERSON who lived in
New He was born in 1807 and had his arm cut at the farm in Dampierre, where he lived with his parents, who had been a father to son for a long time. This operation was quite simple and he said that he had seen "saw his arm".
Hygiene care was rudimentary at that time but it was well found and lived happily what was its character.
He was a clerk of the notary in Auve and married the sister (who lived in St-Rémy on Bussy, near Auve)
General APPERT, who was only a captain at the time, died before my birth, but the general and his sons continued to come to Auve where we saw them a lot. The General was ambassador to Russia from 1882 to 1884, but he had remained simple and kind and came every time to Dampierre."
