General Notes: Husband - Hon. George Adam Knarr


He was a resident of Troutville, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania, where he was engaged in the livery business; he also carried the United States mail between that place and Sykesville, Jefferson County.

He attended school at Troutville, Pennsylvania, until his father considered him old enough to be entrusted with duties in the store and he helped his father as a clerk until he was seventeen years old, when he began to carry the mail between Troutville and Luthersburg. He was carrying mail for over thirty years, his route later being from Troutville to Sykesville. He had other business interests as well, for twelve years being secretary of the Troutville branch of the German National Building and Loan Association of Pittsburgh, and for five years secretary of this branch for the Jamestown Building and Loan Association. He was a stockholder in the Citizens' Building and Loan Association at DuBois, and was interested there beginning in 1889. Mr. Knarr was also a stockholder in the Deposit National Bank at DuBois.
Shortly before the death of his father, Mr. Knarr succeeded to the mercantile business he had founded and he also bought the homestead farm of eighty-seven acres, which was situated near Troutville.
For several years he served as tax collector and in 1910 was made burgess of Troutville borough. He was a member of the Knights of Pythias at Troutville, and was a past grand of Mingle Lodge No. 753, I. O. O. F., same place. In politics he was a stanch Democrat.
