This is a letter written to my mother, Marjorie Elizabeth Engle Hart/Nevin and my Uncle Sheldon Engle on Dec. 21, 1959 Kingston, by Marjorie Bone Kistler. Dear Marge and Shel, Your Mother's side: Amanda Kanarr: Mother: Martha Devens (Mother:Amanda (Lytle) Devens)(Father:Ezra Devens) Father: David Kanarr (Mother: Elizabeth (Mock) Kanarr)(Father: Abe Kanarr) David Kanarr had 2 brothers: William and Abraham and 3 sisters: Elizabeth (Henry) Pace, Mary (Thomas) Klein, Rachel (Fiske). David was youngest. Granpa Kanarr was a miller. He worked at Schooley's mill in Luzerne. He had a farm on Bunker Hill. All grandchildren went up and drove cows to and from barn in town. Granpa K. owned most of Main St. in Luzerne but went on somebody's bail and lost it all - for which Grandma K never forgave him. Thomas Klein (Mary's husband) bought in 1 house from Granpa K's estate (which he lost - see above) and let Grandma K. live in it. Your mother and mine and Grandma Devens (Wagner) lived in the other side and paid Grandma K. $5.00 a month rent. Grandpa David Kanarr (our mother's father) was killed in mines - rock fall - when my mother was 10 years old and yours 71/2 years. Another little sister (Alverda) died of diphtheria about 2 years after Grandpa died. Grandma Devens (Wagner) kept family together by going out by day working and so did my mother. Grandma earned 50 cents a day and my mother received 25 cents a day. They took in boarders and did washing. (There was no compensation from mines in those days and Grandma was very proud and would not accept help from her brothers because "she wasn't going to let them dictate to her!".) Amanda (Lytle) Devens and Grandpa Ezra lived back on "the old farm" in sweet Valley which he bought with money he received for going to war for somebody else. ( You've read how the could do that.) - 100 acres. Grandma Devens (Wagner's) brother Dan bought the farm from descendents - all but 25 acres which Grandma Wagner kept ( her share from her father) and which she asked us never to sell while we lived. That 25 acres belongs now to your family and mine. (You remember receiving your apportionment of some timber money about 30 years ago.) Nothing has been made on the old farm since. It rents for $36.00 a year and the taxes are 35 something. Grandma Wagner thought Grandpa Lytle was Irish - she wasn't sure. They came from Edwardsville - she thinks. Great - Great Grandma (Devens? Lytle) kept an Inn in Edwardsville and died by falling on stone (stroke) while cooking half a lamb. She was then 101 years old. Grandma Devens (Wagner) married for the second time (Fred Miner Wagner) when about 50. She then lived at Pritchards Corner where Sheldon used to visit. After Grandpa Wagner died she came to live with us in Nanticoke and was there when she died on May 13, 1934. She was buried in Trucksville ( the White Church on the Hill) in the plot with Grandpa David Kanarr. Your mother, Amanda married in the summer of 1894 or 1895 and moved to Luzerne. (She had been living in Nanticoke with my mother, and father and Grandma). They (Amanda and Will - William Charles Engle, Jr.) lived over a drug store there - where Sheldon was born (1900). Your father worked in his Uncle's foundry in Luzerne. Later they moved to Wilkes-Barre and then to Wellsboro where Uncle Will was a molder in a foundry. From there they moved to Elizabeth, NJ. On your father's side the information is very meager. The Engles lived in Luzerne. Mother doesn't remember much about them except that they went for a walk every night and Mr. Engle was so bowlegged. He worked in his brother's welding factory in Luzerne. Children of Marjorie Bone and Charles Kistler are: I have this information. 3.
