Mrs. Knaak was 61 years of age and had been a resident of the city for more than 40 years. Of late she had been an invalid, and the closing years of her life were marked by sorrow and trouble. A happy family, a few years ago, death entered its midst and one by one the children, four in number, were claimed, until but one remained. The father's health was broken by the death of his children and he too gave up. With the death of her husband, the health of Mrs. Knaak failed rapidly and although tenderly cared for by a loving daughter, who is now the sole survivor of the family, she was unable to recuperate and at last the presence of the Grim Messenger released her to join the loved ones gone before. Mrs. Knaak was a woman loved and esteemed by a large circle of friends and many a heart will be saddened in the knowledge that she is no more. To the bereaved daughter, Miss Augusta, the sympathy of the community will go out. The funeral will be held Friday.

HANS TIM KNICKRIEHM From Der Nord Westen, 22 Apr. 1880: Death of 80-year old Hans Tim Knickriehm on Mon. in the home of his son John Knickriehm. Burial took place yesterday. ********* (Note: From cemetery: All the Burial Register says is Old Mr. Knikrehm. Slightly off to the side is written a mystery letter than John or Jahn lot. John Knickriehm owns lot E2-93-1 (which is the spelling you have in the obit). Buried on the lot are John Knickrehm (11/29/1911), Child of J. Knickrehm (12/30/1865), and Marie Knickrehm (11/12/1934). I'm thinking Knickriehm is probably the correct spelling, and Hans is probably on the lot, because it was purchased before his death, but I can't be sure.

NORMAN KNUDSON (d. 1934) KNUDSON, Captain' Norman A.-Age 59, died early Monday evening after long illness. Born in this city, attended city schools, and commanded Company H in the Spanish-American war. Later was with Reiss Coal company, North Western road and secretary of Maritime Securities company and Chicago- Roosevelt Steamship company. Served term as state senator. Married here to Josephine Bleser who survives with one brother. Funeral Thursday at 2 p.m. from Masonic Temple under Masonic auspices. Interment Evergreen. Body lies in state from Wednesday on at the Masonic Temple. Manitowoc Herald Times, Wednesday, April 11, 1934 P.13 ******* Perhaps few of the city's well known residents were more beloved than Captain Norman Knudson who, after a lingering illnes passed away at the hospital Monday and was laid to rest today. Aside from his military activities in which he endeared himself to the boys who served under him, he was a leader in many of the city's under- takings and was active and faithful in each of these assignments. Many of our citizens will still remember the scene as he and the boys returned from their service in the Spanish-American war, when the company marched down Eighth street welcomed in triumph after having done their part in their country's cause. Attesting to his popularity, is the fact that when his name was advanced for a legislative post he took no part in the campaign. The rigors of the Porto Rico campaign caused his illness at the time and though he made no effort in his behalf, he was elected by a handsome majority and served with credit. Personally, his geniality and kindliness won him host of friends. Among his Spanish-American war comrades he was a great favorite and the life of every military social gathering. He was one of the originators of the Last Man's club, but no one anticipated that he would be the first to whom the "absent brother" toast would be drunk. Norman, everyone called him that, will be missed. Fraternal, military, and social circles have lost a valued contributor and to his widow and relatives will go an expression of sincerest condolence. Manitowoc Herald Times, Thursday, April 12, 1934 p.4 ********* Final Rites For Captain Norman A. Kundson (sic) Thursday Afternoon (large photo) Funeral services for the late Captain Norman A. Knudson, Spanish-American war veteran and shipyard official who died Monday night, were held Thursday afternoon from the Masonic Temple. The picture shows the flag draped casket being borne by the pallbearers between rows of uniformed Knights Templar to the hearse. The march to Evergreen cemetery was headed by the colors which Capt. Knudson donated to Camp Lawton, Camp No. 2, Spanish-American war veterans four years ago. The funeral was under Masonic auspices and was largely military in character. Company E. the local guard, headed the cortege, followed by a full represent- ation of Spanish-American veterans and also former member of Company H. Included among the visitors here to pay their last respects were Col. Charles A. Green of Appleton, who was regimental adjutant during the Spanish-American war, and Captain Hugh E. Pomeroy of the same city who was in command of Co. G of Appleton, a unit of the Second Wisconsin Infanty with the local company in the war. They represented the Officers of Foreign Wars organization of which the late Captain Knudson was a member. A former comrade, Frank Mulvaney of Marion, and Mike Stein, Capt. Pameroy's orderly, also attended. After the Masonic services at the grave, a squad of Company E guardsmen fired the last salute and the bugler sounded taps. The funeral was one of the largest in the city, attended by representatives of the Shipyard, military organizations to which the deceased belonged, and member of various fraternal organizations of which the deceased was a member. Manitowoc Herald Times, Friday, April 13, 1934 P.2 ********* Death Removes Member of Soldiers Commission Death last week of Captian Norman A. Knudson leaves the soldiers relief commission of the county with but two members. Attorny Walter Clark and Major Edward J. Schmidt. The state law covering this body is that the three members, appointed by the county judge, must be made up of persons who have seen service in the United States forces during a war. Illness of County Judge John Chloupek prevents selection of a member of the commission to succeed Capt. Knudson and the body will continue to function with two members of the present. It administers relief funds allotted to veterans by the county board. Manitowoc Herald Times, Thursday, April 19, 1934 P.2 ********* [bur. 4-12-1934/cause: carcinoma gall bladder]
