"Season's Pass" for the Pittsburgh & Elizabeth Packet
Company 1897, 1898, 1899 and
1900.
In 1899 a new company was formed,
Monongahela and Ohio River Transportation Company, which owned the
Packetboat
ELIZABETH. Most of these are signed by the President of the line,
J. M. Boyd, who was a major partner in
the Monongahela and Ohio River Transportation Company,
J.
M. Boyd also was a cousin of Bertha Lynch, wife of J. W. Lynch.
I
can not verify the authenticity of these Passes. |
