Louis Knapp is Dead"
Louis Knapp is no more. He passed out of this life just at the dawn of day on Thursday. Louis had been a great sufferer ever since the day of his terrible accident, August 7, when his intestines were injured by the flying to pieces of a toy wheel which he was experimenting with at the engine room of the flouring mills, as was explained in these columns at the time; but his life had not been despaired of until a few days prior to his death. The operation performed by Dr. R.R. Williams in uniting the intestines, by the use of silver joints, proved a success; but other complications set in and the patient kept growing weaker and weaker until death relieved him.

The death of Louis Knapp is especially sad, for life to him had just opened, he having just passed his sixteenth birthday; but the silent Messenger cut short all the possibilities of this young life. Louis was not only industrious, but was a generous, free-hearted boy, and was a general favorite among his many young associates. He leaves behind an aged mother, two sisters and one brother to mourn his untimely death, his father having preceded him about two years.

The funeral was held yesterday afternoon at two o'clock from the M.E. church, Rev. S.A. Roberts officiating, and the remains were laid to rest in the Manning cemetery.
