Theresa, you neglected to mention when George died. I checked the South Dakota Death index, which lists a George KNITTEL who died September 8, 1913, in Minnehaha county. (Death Index Page Number: 462) You can get a copy of the death record (which will specify where George is buried) by contacting Vital Records, South Dakota Department of Health, 600 E. Capitol, Pierre, South Dakota 57501. The current fee is $10. You may also be able to get a copy of the death record directly from Minnehaha county. Another possible source of burial information is George's obituary. You could contact a Sioux Falls area library to request an obituary lookup, but you also may be able to get this done by a volunteer. Visit: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~obitl/volsd.html
