SERVICES SUNDAY FOR FLOYD COLE KNAPP
Floyd Cole Knopp(sic), son of Reuben J. and Sarah F. Knapp was born in Lee County, Iowa, Nov. 3, 1865, and passed away at the Pierson Convalescent Home in Des Moines, July 17, 1942, aged 76 years, 8 months and 14 days.
Mr. Knapp received his education in the rural schools, in the Farmington high school and in a business college in Burlington. On December 30, 1897 he was united in marriage to Olivia Bell Duty. To this union four sons were born, three of whom survive the father and mother.
All of Mr. Knapp's life has been lived in Lee and Van Buren counties, except seven years at Ames, while his sons were in school. He was a farmer by occupation. With his family he retired from the farm in 1914, and came to Farmington to live, and has always kept a home here. Failing health forced him to leave his home in December, 1941. Since that date he has lived in the homes of his three sons, going from one to another, and receiving loving care in his old age.
His final illness began June 24, and he grew rapidly weaker until the end came in his last rest.
His wife was one of the most active workers in the Methodist church, and Mr. Knapp worked hand in hand with her in the good work of the Kingdom. He was good friend, a good neighbor, and a good citizen in the community. It will be counted for him that he lived an Honest, useful life.
He leaves to mourn his passing three sons, Dwight Duty, Charles George Cole, and Floyd Raymond; one grandson, Dale Knapp, several cousins and many friends.
Funeral services were held at the Farmington Methodist church Sunday afternoon at two o'clock, conducted by the Rev. John S. Ellis. Interment was in McDaniel Cemetery.
