ALBERT KNEES
  With the death of Albert Knees, well known resident of Milford township, 
for many years, this community loses one of its most kind-hearted and 
conscientious residents.  Mr. Knees succumbed to complications, at his 
home on South Washington street, Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock.  He had 
been ailing, for the past few months, but was confined to his bed only a 
few days.  Deceased was nearly 67 years of age, having been born in Milford 
township, October 8, 1863.  His parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. William 
Knees, were pioneer settlers of that community.  On November 8, 1892, 
he was married to Miss Emma Wiedenmann in this city, and to this union, 
one daughter was born, namely, Mrs. Harold A. Fenske of New Ulm.  They 
made their home on a farm in Milford township until the death of Mrs. 
Knees, April 13, 1929, and in the fall, Mr. Knees removed to this city.  
He was a kind and devoted husband and father, very helpful and neighborly, 
and was never known to quarrel or dispute with anyone.  Mr. Knees is 
survived by two grandchildren, and the following two brothers and four 
sisters: Philip and Henry Knees, Mrs. Lena Frederick and Mrs. Christ. 
Backer, all of New Ulm; Mrs. Daniel Mecklenburg, Milford township, and 
Mrs. Herman J. Albrecht, Essig.  Obsequies were held at Turner hall 
Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and the remains were laid to rest in the 
City cemetery.  Mr. Knees was a member of the New Ulm Turnverein, Modern 
Woodmen of America, and the Junior Pioneers.
