Children of: Grover Cleveland Knisley and Effie Jane Harrison

Memorable Moments & Stories

  • Anecdote: on Saturday, 10 May 1947, at Wayne County, IndianaG, Grover Cleveland Knisley (54 years old) when Iva and Grover married, it was the third marriage for Iva and fourth marriage for Grover. She lost a previous husband by death and her second husband by divorce. He had lost two previous wives by death and one by divorce. It is my belief that they had both been married to each other previously and then divorced and remarried. Regardless, they both appeared to be optimists!1

Other Major Events

  • Jul 1941, on this date, the divorce between Knisley Grover Cleveland Knisley.7
  • Military: in 1942, at Springfield, Clark County, OhioG, Grover Cleveland Knisley registered for the military draft for World War II.8
