This should be list discussion. I was born in Astoria, OR and now live in
Edmonds, WA (with several places in between), so know nothing about the KY
bunch other than what has been published in various books. I appreciate
this interesting info from Becky

Melissa,
Do you know which one of the Cissell's started the Cissell Mfg plant in
Louisville, KY. My father told me that one of my grandmothers uncles, (so
it would have to be one of James E. Cissell's sons) started the mfg company
in Louisville. It is still operational today, however I believe the
Cissell's have sold it. My grandmother use to keep in touch but she past
several years ago and my Aunts and Uncles don't really keep in touch.
I believe the one that own the mfg co actually invented the electric clothes
dryer. Thats what they build there. If you've ever went into a laundry mat
and looked at the dryers they have "CISSELL" across the top of them.
