Dear Debby,
Boy the RR picture sure brings back good memories for me. I am not as old as
these men were but I do remember the Big Engines pulling all the Passenger
trains from Columbus, OH to Logansport.
My grandfather, EP Kinzig, would put me on the train in Columbus and I would
get off at Logansport. I was about 8, 9 10 years old. That's pretty young
but I did it. At Union City the crews would change and I would hear the old
Conductor tell the new one-"That little girl in seat_ is EP Kinzigs'
granddaughter. Take good care of her. Her family will meet her at
Logansport. I never ran around. I had a horse, the fastest in the world,
that ran along side of the train, jumping over streams, rivers, and fences,
running through the woods, just for me. [What an imagination, right?]
My great grandfather, Clarence E. Gill, my grandfather, Edward Peter Kinzig
were both Pennsy conductors, my grandfather, Isaac Leroy Morris, was a
fireman on C & O. My great uncle, Fay E. Gill, was dispatcher for Pennsy, my
husband, Donald Eugene Nelson, was Inspector in yards in Logan, South Bend,
and Marion; my uncle, Paul Edward Morris was on the road and George Conrad
Sims, was at Van Station then Grand Station in Chicago, Fay's son, Jack
Gill, was on the road. My cousin Billy Sims worked in the yards in Marion.
Paul's son Robert Paul Morris is my only family still Railroad working-on
the road. The Railroad pays my way in this life. Quite a Railroading Record,
huh????
