Mr. and Mrs. John Knapp, son Lawrence, and accompanied by Paul Norman, left yesterday morning for Chautauqua county, N. Y. They will make the trip by auto, Mr. and Mrs. Knapp in One car, Law rence and Paul Norman in the other. Their household goods and horses also left yesterday morning and the ca,r was in charge of Leon Lansdorf, who has worked for Mr. Knapp for a number of years and who will continue to work for him, and Frank Gorham, son of George Gorham, who will also work lor Mr. Knapp. Mr. Knapp and family moved here several years ago from New York state and he has been engaged in the livery business practically all these years. Several weeks ago Mr. Knapp made a visit back east to his old home and found that his parents were getting to be quite feeble. Feeling it to be his duty he now goes to work the farm on which they reside and care for them in their declining years. Rensselaer regrets to lose Mr. Knapp and his most excellent family, and The Democrat joins with their many friends in wishing them prosperity in their old home again.
