GEO. L. KNARR DEAD
Prominent Merchant and Exemplary Citizen of Troutville Passes Away.

  George L. Knarr, a prominent merchant and most highly respected 
exemplary citizen, died at his home in Troutville on Sunday, January 
1st, 1811, of cancer of the intestines, aged 65 years.  Mr. Knarr had 
been a sufferer for some years and a year ago or near that, underwent a 
critical operation which relieved him somewhat for a time but the dread 
insistent disease renewed its attack and finally claimed its victim.  
He leaves to mourn his death, two children, namely, Emma, married to J. 
E. Rishel and residing in West Virginia and George A. Knarr, rural mail 
carrier on Troutville Route from Sykes.
  Reuben M. Knarr, contractor and builder of the Third Ward, brother of 
the deceased, left yesterday for Troutville to be present at the 
funeral which was held from his late residence in Troutville at 10 
o'clock this morning.
  Mr. Knarr was a leading man of the community and county in which he 
lived.  He was public-spirited, generous-hearted to charities and will 
be greatly missed from every circle which knew him best.
