  LOUIS C. KNAACK, a prosperous farmer and stock raiser and representative citizen of Greenville township, owning an excellent property on the Appleton and Hortonville road, was born in Ellington township, Outagamie county, Wisconsin, February 26, 1881, a son of Frederick and Sophia (Lueth) Knaack. Frederick Knaack was born in Germany, September 9, 1839, and his wife September 29, 1844, and they were married in the Fatherland, from whence they came to the United States about 1869, settling in Ellington township. About two years after locating here, Frederick Knaack purchased a farm, but after living there only several years, removed to Greenville township, leaving his son in charge of the original homestead. After six years spent in Greenville township, Mr. Knaack returned to the Ellington township farm, and there continued to reside, his death occurring in September, 1905. His widow now resides with her daughter, Mrs. Peters, who lives on the farm adjoining that of Louis C. Knaack. Three children were born to Frederick and Sophia Knaack, namely: Frederick, residing in Shawano county; Mary, who married Frank Peters; and Louis C. Louis C. Knaack attended the district schools of Ellington township, and at the age of eighteen years rented a part of the Ellington homestead, on which he remained for six years. He then moved to Appleton, where he worked for Wolf & Hagner, in their marble works for six months, and for S. C. Shannon & Company for about half a year, and he then purchased his present farm of sixty-nine acres, located on the Appleton and Hortonville road. He operates it as a dairy farm, making a specialty of Holstein cattle, and is also extensively engaged in raising hogs of the Poland-China breed for the market. He devotes all of his time and attention to his farm, and has made a success of his venture. On January 23, 1902, Mr. Knaack was married to Miss Eva Manley, who was born in Ellington township, March 10, 1883, daughter of Orson and Margery (Warner) Manley, natives of New York, where Mr. Manley was born January 13, 1851, and his wife May 7, 1851. Orson Manley came to Wisconsin with his parents in 1867, the family locating in Ellington township, where Mr. Manley grew to manhood and became a landowner and farmer. In 1906 he moved to Appleton and retired, and there his death occurred October 3, 1910. His widow, who survives him, resides at No. 963 Atlantic street, Appleton. They had four children, namely: Jay, who is deceased: Mrs. Knaack; Jessie, who is deceased, and Flossie, who was married May 9, 1911, to the Rev. George Goodrich, minister of the Methodist Episcopal church at Niagara, Wisconsin. By a former marriage, Mrs. Manley had two children, one of whom, Charles Hewitt, resides at Neenah. Wisconsin. One child has been born to Mr. and Mrs. Knaack, Viola Margaret, May 10, 1905. They have also an adopted child from the Orphans' Home: Ray Frey. Mr. and Mrs. Knaack are members of the Lutheran Church.
