Funeral services will be arranged following the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Ed REGAN from Burlingame, CA. Mrs. REGAN, a niece, is the only immediate living relative of deceased. Jimmie GREENE who had been KNOPF'S closest companion in recent years arrived from Carson City and is looking after the ranch property. W.H. GREENE, father of Jimmie and a close friend of KNOPF'S for many years arrived from Carson City today to assist in the funeral arrangements. Raised in California where he became an expert orchardist KNOPF responded to the mining boom when Tonopah was a young and teeming camp. Born at Half Moon Bay, CA, KNOPF would have been 63 years old December 19, according to records available although close friends believe he was slightly older than the figure given. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NV-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
