Dear Sir

My son Karl Jessel sent me a form to fill out.

I am a survivor of the Johnstown Flood. I am a daughter of Jacob Knorr and Mary Bosart Knorr.

We lived on Jackson St. back of the Turner Hall. At the time of the Flood it was the Viering Furniture store.

My mother and two sisters were drowned, Bertha and Emma Knorr.

If my health permits I expect to fly up. I will be eighty years on 7th April. That makes me five years old at the time of the Flood.

Yours truly,
Augusta Jessel
