     Famous Travelers
     By  1829 canal boats were traveling up the Kiskiminetas River  to
     points  east.  Soon afterwards, the main line canal to the valley
     became operational and prospered as more travelers, farmers,  and
     industries used it.
     
     Passengers traveled on fast “Packet” canal boats which could make
     80  to  100  miles per day.  Charles Dickens, the English  author
     came  this  way as did the writer Harriet Beecher Stowe  and  the
     politician  Henry  Clay.  The bodies of two  presidents,  William
     Henry  Harrison and Zachary Taylor, passed by on the way to their
     final resting places.

     LETTER REQUESTING INFORMATION
     My  mother was born in Hyde Park.  I have a picture of the  house
     from  way  back  in 1905.  I took the picture to the  museum  and
     there  was a man there that knew where the house was and that  it
     was  still standing.  It’s on Chestnut Street.  My mother’s  name
     was  Evelyn  Elizabeth Roberts.  She Married Samual Paul  Kinter.
     He  was from Indiana PA.  Mom had a good friend from Hyde Park by
     the  Name of Sally Davis and she was blind.  Does anyone know  of
     these people?  Thanks, AJ McMunn
