Affidavits and sworn statements from 1887 88 era McKeesport locals
A compilation of sworn affidavits from McKeesport and Monongahela river area residents regarding 1887 88 events. James Porter and others describe associating with Thomas Ketley alias P A Roth and Dowden boat life on the Monongahela, with mentions of Rob Pan company and a man named Pad Jay. Hannah and Thomas Slater recall Dowden’s boat and a Mary named Bob Ferris. The affidavits, sworn before local mayors in December 1892, form part of a Sunday Register feature alongside a poem reflecting on education and a Hippodrome show.
