General Notes: Husband - Adam Knarr

---

When he left the Fatherland he was just a boy of four years. He grew to manhood at the new home, and married. After his marriage he continued to reside at the homestead, taking charge of it on shares, and caring for his parents as old age came upon them. In 1890 he built on the farm a hotel facing the Punxsutawney pike, and in the following year, when the borough of Troutville was incorporated, his entire farm was included within the limits. Of course the land became desirable for building purposes, and after selling a large portion of it, Mr. Knarr sold to two of his sons fifty acres each, on the east and west sides of the borough, reserving sixty acres for himself in the center. From this he afterward sold many lots, and on the portion which he retained as a homestead he made many improvements. In 1890 he built a large two-story house with all the modern conveniences, one of the finest homes in the borough. His barn, which was built in 1876, was 64 x 80 feet, and was one of the largest in Clearfield county.
He and his estimable wife were members of the German Evangelical Lutheran Church, and reared their children in the same faith. Politically, Mr. Knarr was a steadfast Democrat, having never wavered in his allegiance to the old party. He was active in local affairs, and was treasurer of the borough from the time it was organized.
