Clara E. Hambright wrote a letter 12 Dec 1931 to see if she was entitled to any
pension money via her late father. She lived at 1906 Green St, Harrisburg, PA then.
It says she was a widow since 1907.



Dad's notes of 7/24/1979:

"Russ [his uncle Russ Conrad] remembered that the Clara E Knisely is
probably the one who married a Hambright and lived on Green Street
in Harrisburg, Pa."

Clara married Horace K. HAMBRIGHT 11 Aug 1885, PA. Horace was born Sep 1865, PA; died Abt 1907, Harrisburg, Dauphin Co, PA. [Group Sheet]
