Then it was that the insidious disease, which had been making inroads upon his health for a number of years, manifested itself in a marked degree and he was taken to Milwaukee for an operation, which brought little or no relief, and he was returned to his home here a few weeks ago, where he lingered until death came to end his sufferings. Notwithstanding his short residence here, and despite his weakened condition from health, Mr. Knapp showed himself to be a man of good business ability, and made many friends who sympathize with the sorrowing family.

Her cheerfulness, her contentment her deep peity, have been an inspiration to many. Surely her life was a useful one. It was as she testified a happy life. The tender ministries of loving hearts, the enjoyment of health (notwithstanding her infirmity) and above all a large measure of the grace of God, gave a real zest to her earthly existence, yet she had no fear of death. The protracted sufferings of her last sickness, shook her not from the great foundation of faith. The funeral was largely attended. Rev. F. B.
