James Henry McKnight
(1884-1963)

 

James and a furry companion

James Henry McKnight was born on March 19, 1884 at Brownsville, Fayette County, PA, the son of Henry and Martha (Nutt) McKnight.

On March 20, 1905, a day after his 19th birthday, James was united in matrimony with 22-year-old Nora Victor (1883-1961), daughter of Davis and Dorothy (Swaney) Victor of Fairchance, Fayette County. She was a few years older than her husband.

The McKnights went on to produce seven children -- Dorothy Spaw, Martha Bush, Margaret Anna Garletts, Phillip Davis McKnight, George Swaney McKnight, Laura Edna Radcliffe and Lela Kathryn Cyphert. 

Sadly, their son Phillip died at birth.

James was a longtime farmer and coal miner. Working with his father in law Davis Victor in 1909, they were injured in an accident at the Cyrilla No. 2 Mine in Fayette County. The 1909 publication Report of the Department of Mines of Pennsylvania reports that each man's "Face and hands [were] burned by the ignition of coal dust from a blast of dynamite blowing through a rib between two entries."

James did not get home often to see his parents. He occasionally wrote letters to his mother, and in August 1932 she wrote him a reply, summarizing many of her troubles during the era of her widowhood and the Great Depression:

Well my dear boy I surley was glad to get your letter. I am not vary well this Spring and Summer but able to work. We have had so many to cook for. There was lots of berries and lots of people... There is hard times every place so Gimmy come home and stay with me. I don't often hear anything of your people... May God bless you and take care of you and I pray for you always. From your Momma to my dear boy.

On vacation in the early 1930s, James began to keep company with a woman from Brownsville. A newspaper described her as "a comely widow." Nora pursued legal action in Fayette County Court, with James ordered to make monthly alimony payments of $30 plus furnish a $1,000 bond or otherwise face jail. He counter-argued that he had returned to his wife in Fairchance, but then left when Nora refused to terminate the bond. James' married daughter Margaret Garletts, said the Uniontown Morning Herald, "advised him he better leave the county before he was driven out... [but that ] he came back at the request of his brother, Frank, of Jefferson township, who went his bond and who had been paying most of the early alimony."

James and his lady friend eventually moved to Chicago, where he "boarded" in her residence and found employment in a local tin mill.

The departure left Nora and her family in chaos. James left behind an unpaid mortgage of $630.70 on an improved lot in Fairchance, owned to Monongahela National Bank. She took steps to refinance the debt with the hope that it could eventually be repaid and transferred to another owner.

When James' mother died in 1938, some five years later, her newspaper obituary reported that James was still residing in Chicago. It's not known when he returned to Western Pennsylvania for good.

Whent the federal census enumeration was made in 1940, Nora and her younger children resided next door to her married daughter and son-in-law, Margaret and Grant Garletts, in Georges Township near Fairchance.

Nora stayed busy and is known to have served on a committee of the Victory Sunday School Class of Trinity Methodist Church, Fairchance. In 1943, she volunteered to visit members who were ill at home.

Uniontown Evening Standard

In 1944, sadness struck the family when their eldest daughter Dorothy -- who had married Harry Spaw -- died of a brain tumor at age 38. She was laid to rest in Fairchance.

James spent the balance of his working life as a machinist. He and Nora never reconciled.

With her health in decline, Nora went to reside with her married daughter Kathryn Cyphert across the state line in Morgantown, WV. There, she surrendered to death on June 28, 1961, at the age of 78. The Connellsville Daily Courier published an obituary.

James' final years were spent in the home of their daughter Margaret Garletts on High Street in Fairchance.

There, burdened with hardening of the arteries and bronchial pneumonia, he died at the age of 77, on March 7, 1963. Burial was in nearby Maple Grove Cemetery. His obituary in the Uniontown Evening Standard said he was survived by 18 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
