Jaycees, - Committee, - Survivors,

I have just received the enclosed coupon, am returning it with additional information, which I hope will not be confusing.

I was Mabel Kennedy, my father Henry D., was drowned in the Flood of 1889, my mother and five children survived, I am the only one now living.

I was married to Edwin (?) S. Wright, Bethlehem Steel Co. - - he died in 1931, at our home 236 Fayette St. Westmont.

I left Johnstown, as a resident, in 1945, residing since with my daughter, Helen Wright Schmidt, 8 Sunset Drive, Fairmont, W. Va. I am now with our other daughter, Mary Wright Tarr, and will be in Richmond until Feb. 15th.

I am most interested in the coming celebration, and will be pleased to receive any information about it.

Incidentally, the enclosed picture I clipped from local paper, it may be of interest to you.

Wishing you success.

Sincerely,
Mabel K. Wright
