When ten years of age he moved with his parents to Berlin township, Ionia 
County, residing there about thirty-seven years.

care of his niece, Miss Amelia Terry.

Besides a host of friends and other relatives he leave to mourn their loss, two 
sisters, Mrs.John Seybold of Odessa and Mrs.Ben Terry of Gowen and one brother, 
Edgar Knapp of Berlin, they being the only one left of a family of thirteen.

From early life he has suffered much from rheumatism, his death being hastened 
by stomach trouble.

his affliction. At the our of death he expressed a willingness to meet his Lord.

Funeral services were held at the home of the deceased Wednesday, March 20th, 
conducted by Rev. J.H. Mourer assisted by Rev.C.S. Rennells. Burial was made in
