  • Notes 
    • DANIEL L. KNECHTEL.

      All those who have for years lived in the neighborhood of Mannheim will readily recognize this name, for Mr. Knechtel was conspicuously identified with that village when it was yet basking in the sunshine of prosperity. He was born in the province of Rhein, Bavarian, Prussia, on December 11, 1845. His father, the late Jacob Knechtel, emigrated from his native land to New York City some time in the year 1856 [1847]. After a residence of ten years in that city be moved with his family to Mannheim, where he was for many years engaged as a cabinet maker. To this trade Daniel L. was also apprenticed. When his father retired from business he took charge of the saw mill, for some time previous operated by Aber Bricker, and operated it for a period of about fifteen years. After this he removed to Berlin where for a year or two he was employed in J. Y. Shantz's button factory.....
