CHAPTER XLV Auburn
Washington Kniseley married Miss Sarah Heckart and settled near Troy, in Gilmer county, many years ago. Here, he died about 1880, and in the Auburn cemetery he lies at rest, by the side of his two companions. His last wife, Mrs. Anna Cox Kniseley, being laid by his side in 1909.
CHAPTER XLV Auburn
His daughter, Sarah, was the late wife of Oliver Cox, of Cox's mill; and his sons were John, and Daniel, of the Auburn vicinity, who passed on a number of years ago, and Henry Kniseley.
CHAPTER XLV Auburn
John Kniseley, who was so long prominently identified with the business affairs of this part of the county, was married to Miss Julia McKinney, in 1839, and settled on Hacker's creek, in Lewis county, where he remained until the early seventies, when he came to Auburn and purchased the Timothy Tharpe and the Andrew Law homesteads, and took up his residence on the latter.
CHAPTER XLV Auburn
Being a man of great energy, he was one of the most prosperous farmers and stock-dealers in this section. of the country. He took an active interest in church affairs, and was a generous contributor to the cause. The pretty Methodist Protestant church home of this town, which was burned to the ground, on Sunday, December 12, 1909, was chiefly the work of his own hands.
CHAPTER XLV Auburn
When the weight of years forced him to give up his business pursuits, turning his beautiful old homestead over to his son, Thomas, he removed to a little home in the north of this town, where he resided until this home was broken up by the death of his aged companion, near the year 1896. He died during the month of February, 1898. Both sleep in the Auburn cemetery. This venerable couple celebrated their golden wedding during the early summer of the year 1889 -an event which has been recorded in the lives of comparatively few of the citizens of this county.
CHAPTER XLV Auburn
They were the parents of five children; viz., Edward, Abraham, Thomas, Julia, and Sarah.
CHAPTER XLV Auburn
Edward remained in Lewis county.
