One Way to Handle Those "Problem" Ancestors

The Smiths were proud of their family story. Their ancestors had come to America on the Mayflower.
The family tree included Senators as well as Wall Street millionaires.
They decided to compile a family history as a legacy for their children and grandchildren. But as they gathered facts, a huge problem arose.
How could they possibly include that unwanted information about great-uncle George, who had been EXECUTED IN THE ELECTRIC CHAIR!!!

They hired a professional writer, who told them, "NO PROBLEM".
He promised to handle the story tactfully. And so he did.
The book was published, and here's what it said about Uncle George:

"Great-Uncle George occupied a chair of applied electronics at an important government institution. He was attached to his position by the strongest of ties, and indeed his death came as a great shock."
