Died – September 1, 1891, at his home in Jefferson County, Mo., Mr. John KNORPP, of paralysis.
Deceased was paralyzed in 1889, and has suffered two and a half years, until death released him from earthly pain. He was senseless from the third time he was paralyzed, last Sunday morning, and did not speak any more. Shortly before dying he seemed to recognize all present – his wife and three children. Deceased was a native of the Fatherland and came to America in [1833?]. He was 68 years of age and one of the oldest settlers of this German settlement. He was buried in the old German Methodist cemetery, where the Evangelical minister held a sermon, taking his text from II Kings, chapter 20, 1st verse: "in those days was Hezekiah sick unto death, and the Prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz, came to him and said unto him, Thus said the Lord, set thine house in order, for thou shall die and not live." Rev. Wm. KLEINSCHMIDT, of the Methodist church, also made some appropriate remarks
