Is there any chance that the following records are for a different Knerr family

would have been married in the Pitmanarea by this time.

Notes from Kalalena

Hi Tim,

The Stone valley communion registers and confirmations were located at the
Historical Society when Iwas in Sunbury years ago. But, it seems to me some of
the books were missingas I'd swear there was another volume when I was first there.

Confirmed - 12 June 1831

Isaac Knerr, aged 16 years
Abbalonia Knerr, aged 16 years [ wonder twins?? or cousins??]
Benjamin Witmer, aged 19 [ md. one of Michael gals]
Maria M. Michael, aged 17 years

Communion - 12 May 1833

Christian Michael
Johannes Michael
Benjamin Witmer
Magdalena Michael
Abbalonia Michael [she is now married!]
Catharina Michel

[ 34 men and 38 women communed that day]

Per Appellonia "Abby" (KNERR) MICHAEL'S Gravestone [ my Great-Great Grandmother] the age given calculates her birth to circa 9
March 1815. Thus, she'd only been a "child" when her father died!! I'm wondering if she & Isaac, Jr. were "twins" and simply "overlooked" her. (on genforum)

Appolonia married Christian MICHEL Abt 1832, Northumberland Co, PA. Christian was born 2 Dec 1808, Ringgold Twp, Jefferson Co, PA; died 11 Jan 1889, Ringgold Twp, Jefferson Co, PA. [Group Sheet]

membersat different times. The story goes that they eventually got back
together. They sat together on the porch at James Knerr's house and made
up. Then they spent their last few years together, living in a small house that
was then builtfor them on the property (near the creek?).

Charles also was to have survived the war, but got shot in (outside?) a bar on
the way back from the Civil War. I also heard the shooter was a rebel. When
Charles was around later in life, he complained of his injury, and according to
relatives, he would have hisgrandson Jack Knerr pick out the BB's that came
to the surface with a knife (so it must have been a shotgun wound).

It's odd that his pension applicationmakes no reference to either a wound or a
disability because of it. Probablysince there was no record in his service record of
a real war time wound, it wouldn't have done any good bringing it up. But clearly,
everyone in the family seems to have known that Charles was shot in a bar related
incident on the way back.

My Great Aunt Sue [Knerr] told me she had vague recollections of Charles. She
said the young boys would tease him but he'd say "you laugh, but people
will remember me..."

Notes:

Robert was mentally slow or retarded. He only spoke Pennsylvania Dutch, German. When his parents could no longer care for him, he was sent to live with his siblings for 3 months at a time. When that was no longer available, he was sent to the "Poor House".
At that time (1920s) there were no facilities for the retarded. My father Willard and aunt Betty tells the stories about their Uncle Robert that only wanted to play children's games and climb rocks. Mary Stella Maurer, his sister, was always worried he was going to get hurt while climbing on the big rocks.
Robert never married and died in "the poor house".

I remember grandma's English roses with whitish pink peddles, that intertwined her front porch trellis. Sitting out on the front porch sipping ice tea, smelling the fragrant aroma of roses, and watching the delicate white peddles float to the ground. Grandma always was canning something and storing them in the cellar. When we would arrive at grandma's, she would point to the kitchen and we would run to the bread box as she said, you kids want a pretzel?

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
