Knuth

Mrs. Katherine Knuth died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. C.W. Neeskern, 1644 West Third street, Thursday afternoon at 3:30 after an illness of one month.

She was born in Germany, March 7, 1848, and came to America in a sailing vessel, the voyage taking five weeks. She came direct to Davenport where she was married to Henry Knuth in 1873. After two years here, the couple removed to Blue Grass, where they have since resided.

Surviving besides the husband are one daughter, Mrs. C.W. Neeskern, of Davenport, and one son, Herman, also of this city. Three grandchildren also survive.

Services will be held from the home of the daughter Saturday afternoon at 2 o’clock and burial will be in Blue Grass cemetery.
