Author: History of Grundy County, 1914

Knapp, Almeron K., whose name is closely associated with the development of 
Minooka, was born in Chenango County, N. Y., in 1836, a son of Simeon Knapp.  
Recognizing the importance of Minooka as a distributing point, soon after 
locating in Illinois in 1865, he established himself in a lumber and grain 
business there, and also gave his support to other enterprises of the 
community.  He married Miss Pamelia Griswold.  In politics he espoused the 
principles of the Republican party, although he cast his first vote for 
Stephen A. Douglas.  Early in life he became a Mason and passed through all 
the degrees.
