In her early childhood her parents moved to Missouri but returned, during the civil war, to Scott Co., Ill. November 16, 1865, she was united in marriage to John H.

Mrs Knapp was the mother of eight sons and four daughters all of whom are living except one son and two daughters. Those living are James H. and Thomas C. of Burlington, Colo., George W. and Levi A. of Rangley, Colo., Mrs Lulu Lee of Gallitan, Mo., John O., Charles E., Fay M. and Mrs. Daisy Hubbard of McDonald, Kansas. Besides her husband and nine children she leaves forty-one grandchildren and sixteen great-grandchildren. In 1871 she joined the Free Will Baptist church and was faithful to that belief until death. She had been in ill health for several years and for the last four months had been confined to her bed suffering from the result of paralysis. She was a good neighbor and a faithful wife and mother, and she leaves a vacant place in the ranks of her many friends. Funeral services were held in the church in McDonald Sunday afternoon in charge of Rev. Coppoc. The remains were laid away in the McDonald Cemetery.
