While doing some genealogy today and while looking through microfilms of the Des Moines Register, I ran across a little story about a Marcus L. and Phoebe Knapp. This was a story submitted by a free-lance write and submitted to the Des Moines Register. The story concerned the Spring of 1851 when Marcus Knapp came to the Cedar Falls area in Black Hawk County, Iowa, with his parents, fromLiberty County, Ohio. Phoebe died on October 6, 1852 after giving birth to a child, who also died, a few months later. If anyone is related to this family, I can give you the details and perhaps email you a copy of the microfilm story from the Des Moines Register, if you so desire a copy. This story was published on February 12, 1978.
