Smith see General Docket 30:790 though I've seen some people refer to him as "James Maurer Knerr", he's listed as "James Monroe Knerr" on his death certificate, informant being Charles Knerr (a son). James Monroe was also the name of James' son. he's also listed as James Monroe Knerr on the delayed Certiface of Birth of my grandmother Minnie (Knerr) Yoder It's interesting that James had children named Zeno and Ida, and his uncle Isaac (brother of Charles) had a daughter Zeno Ida in 1870 in Schuylkill Haven. I've heard that the Pitman Knerr's kept in touch with the Schuylkill Haven cousins. I can't find James Knerr in the 1900census. Mom said the family might have been in Tremont at one time (remembering from her Mom saying that). Cause of Death: of rectal cancer
