    Mustered out Sep 29, 1864. (muster rolls on hand)

    Co C, 50th had Isaac, George, Benjamin, and Charles Knarr serving together

    Description from military records: 5'6.5" tall, fair complexion, gray eyes,
    brown hair.

    Married by Jacob Hepler, according to Civil War pension records

    Pension application was once denied for "vicious habits" during the war. He
    was treated for venereal disease during the Civil War.

    Family story: Charles left his wife after getting his pension for approximately 20
    years, then came back to his wife. He and his wife lived with different families
    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..."

    Pension form of 1 Apr 1915 has this info:
    married Catharine Maurer 15 Mar 1868, by Jacob M Hepler (later a copy of
    certificate was made for pension file)
    married at Church of God, Hepler (Bethel) Church

    marriage license says James M Knerr, born in Eldred, now a laborer in Frackville

    license issued 13 Apr 1893, returned 18 May by S. 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

    Dr. Meiser seems to have the wrong birth year (1958!). If that were right,
    he'd be born after he died. I think it's a copying error.
