Character Information
|
Orville J. Simpson, or Great-Grampa Simpson, was born in the late 1800s in "The Old Country", Scotland.[1]
History[edit]
Orville married Yuma Hickman in the early 1900s. The two soon had their first son, Hubert, with Tyrone being born two years later. Sometime afterward, they had their third son, Abraham, whom Orville named after his grandfather.
When Abraham was a young boy, Orville, Yuma, and their four sons emigrated to America and moved into the Statue of Liberty. For a few years, they lived there, but they were forced to move out when they filled the head with too much garbage. Afterward, they moved to Springfield.[2] At some point, Orville opened Professor Simpson's Universal Panacea for Disagreeable Juveniles school. There, he showed dozens of men how to punish their boys by strangling Abe as an example. However, despite this, his father didn't approve and strangled him.[3]
Eventually, Tyrone grew up and moved to Dayton, Ohio.[4] In America, Orville and Yuma had another son and named him Bill. Bill grew up and became a communist. During the war, Orville and Yuma had their final child and named him Chet. Orville and Yuma later grew old and passed away (however, he was still alive according to Homer.[5])
Orville was seen in Heaven by Bart after getting hit by a car,[6] strangling young Homer, hinting the habit is a family trait. He was present in Grampa's story when Grampa told the family of his arrival in the U.S.[2] He was the only son of "Old Tut" Simpson and "Happy" Simpson.[7]
