Addie was the daughter of Ira McBain and Melissa Louisa Smith.

On Oct 22, 1870 in Amboy, MI she married Jacob Hiram Walter Knapp, son of Elias Jacob Knapp and Margaret Foust.

Their children were Melissa Margaret "Maggie" and Adele "Della".

Adele died two months after Della was born of peritonitis. Family stories say that her mother Melissa took the two children to live with her because she was angry about how Addie had died. In 1880 she had Della with her in CA, listed as Ella Brown, grand daughter. We have never found where Maggie was between when Adele died in 1876 and 1891 when she married in CA. We do know she wasn't with her father, who was living in Ohio with his new wife and parents and his new son Clarence.

Age: 22yrs 1mo 20dys

Cause of Death: Peritonitis

Note:
There are no headstones in this plot. Ira McBain bought the plot, then he was buried in CA. His son, Gordon, age 8, would have been buried here and one unknown child of theirs born between 1859 and 1867. Then Addie would have been buried here with them in 1876, after her parents had moved to CA.
