It is with a sad heart we record the death of Mrs. Chas. Knapp, who died at their home last Friday of typhoid fever. She possessed many rare qualities, was a true friend and a kind neighbor, and always found where the sick and afflicted were, tenderly caring for them. Her love and care for her family was noticeable to all in a marked degree. She will be greatly missed and the stricken family have the sympathy of in this, the sadest [sic] of all times, for who can love like a mother? The children all arrived in time for the funeral services, which were conducted by Rev. Liscomb, of Estherville, and interment was made in this cemetery [Center Township cemetery].
