      Prior to joing the Knell firm 32 years ago, the deceased was associated with the tanning industry.

      A son of the late John Frederick Knell and Wilhelmina Seip, Mr. Knell was born in Kitchener on April 15, 1875. In June 1906 he was married to Florence M. Stevenson at Cayuga.

      Surviving, in addition to his widow are two sons, John Frederick and Carl William of Kitchener, two daughters, Mrs. Vernon (Wilhelmina) Woeller, city, and Mrs. George (Florence) Sarre of Lethbridge, Alta., as well as one brother, William G. Knell, Bridgeport, and eight grandchildren. He was predeceased by two sisters and one brother.

      The funeral will be held Monday afternoon with a public service at the residence at 3 o'clock and thence to Mt. Hope Cemetery for burial. Rev. A. W. Lotz, pastor of St. Peter's Lutheran Church, of which the deceased was a member, will have charge of the service. The remains will be at the Hunter-Keffer Funeral Home until Saturday morning when they will be taken to the residence.
