Dear Jane,
      Happy Thanksgiving  Hope you had a wonderful day. We are about to go over to our daughters for the big
feast  
      These notes under Jacob Knisley:  Old letter in Knisley file:  (copy)  Original in possession of Mary
Sayers (Samuel),Dunn Loring, Va.
"Names of the Knisley Family.  Jacob Knisley married Prudy Chidister."  "Jacob Knisley was killed by the
cars at Portsmouth,Ohio"
Note:  This is near Ohio River in Scioto County, on Kentucky/Ohio border according to Atlas.
      Jane, maybe it means a street car...as there weren't any automobiles until later...as far as I know.  It would be interesting to try and track down Scioto County records and see what we can come up with.  Wonder when he died....do you have a date for him?
      Gotta run.
Love, Ellie
