Grandfather P.Ramaswamaiya's signature -
(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 50 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 !
His signature with tint/no tint
