BUILT FIRST STREET CAR
William Kinkaid, Descendant of Revolutionary Soldier, Succumbs
William Kinkaid, 93 years old, 3029 Woodburn avenue, builder of the
first street car in Cincinnati, died at his residence yesterday morning.
He was born in New York, in 1823, of Scotch-Irish ancestry, and was a
direct descendant of a Revolutionary soldier. He came to Cincinnati
in 1849. A few years after he arrived in Cincinnati the Bruce Company,
carriage builder, contracted with Mr. Kinkaid to build a street car.
He drew the plans and, with one helper, built the first street car
seen on the streets of Cincinnati. It ran over the present John-street
route.
He is survived by two sons, Captain Thomas W. Kinkaid, U. S. N.,
and William Kinkaid, Houston, Ky., and a daughter, Lettie Kinkaid,
teacher in the Sixth District School. Funeral services will be held
Friday afternoon at Spring Grove Chapel.
