Re: KNOTT Livery, 1800s, Waverly, Iowa, USA

emilyhulbert — 2009-10-20 23:43:40Z

Found this today and wanted to share it for anyone else who may want it someday.
From the Semi-Weekly Iowa State Reporter. Waterloo, Iowa Tuesday, May 17, 1904.

"Big Barn Burned
Ed Knott Meets With Heavy Loss in Conflagration.
Fifteen Horses Cremated
Attendant Succeeded in Saving Three at Risk of His Life.
Knott Horse Importing Barn Destroyed by Fire Early Sunday Morning--Only $2,000 Insurance on the Building--Contents Well Protected
Waverly, May 16--Special to Reporter--At 1 o'clock Sunday morning occured one of the most disastrous fires that Waverly has experienced in many years. The Edward A. Knott horse importing stables, now occupied by Knott Bros. as a livery barn, with all its equipment and contents burned to the ground. In the barn were many carriages together with eighteen head of fine horses. Little of the equipment was saved and all the horses parished but three. These horses were rescued by an attendant at the peril of his own life. Among the horses burned was Julian Ruddick's splendid pacer "Freak." A valuable team belonging to two boys from Janesville was also lost.
Familiar Landmark
The Knott importing barn was one of the familiar land marks of Waverly. It was situated on Bremer avenue at the west end of the bridge. It was one of the finest horse palaces in the state and was erected at a cost of $8,000.00. It was a two story structure 44x126 feet and was the property of United States Marshal E. A. Knott. Mr. Knott loses his entire investment except a margin of about $2,000.00 covered by insurance. The equipment belonged to his two sons, John and Fred. It is understood that their loss in excess of insurance will be comparatively small.
Water Pressure Failed.
Had the high winds of the past week still prevailed no power could have saved the business portion of the west-side. At the critical moment the water pressure was found so light as to render the fire boys practically helpless. Handicapped thus it was with extreme difficulty that they prevented the angry flames from eating their way into the long wooden rows which span Bremer avenue the entire distance from West Water street to Elm street.
Origin of Fire Unknown
The exact origin of the fire is as yet unknown. It was at first thought to be an electric wire, but this theory is hardly tenable. The fire began in the hay mow in the extreme back part of the building and directly in front of the horses. When discovered it had gained such headway that it had already burst through the roof.
Site for New Depot.
One of the probable results of this fire will be the locating of the Rock Island depot on Bremer avenue. Several years ago this company purchased all the land intervening between its present depot grounds and this thoroughfare. All the buildings were removed therefrom at once except the Knott barn. Failing to reach an agreement with Mr. Knott they have allowed the matter to rest until the present time. The total destruction of this barn now leaves the way clear for the placing of one of the most favorably located depots in the city."

Go to Family search.org, the 1880 census lists C.(Charles) Lockwood Beed son of Charles Beed and Lydia Haecker of Hampton, Franklin Co., Iowa with spouse Anne Sawyer married Dec. 12, 1894. Also, Rootsweb.com World Connect, Charles Beed born 1843 and Charles Lockwood Beed born 1869. Full family listed. Google: Charles Lockwood Beed and get History in Iowa Biography project. Whole story on the family. C. Lockwood must have married Mabel Knott later. I'll get census to you later.

I am joining the prospecting. I am searching for the information about the Bremer family from NY. in 1909 Dionizy Maslinski arrived in this family (brother of my great-grandfather).

Gordon Family

emilyhulbert — 2009-09-21 21:25:57Z

Looking for any information on the Gordon family, especially Ransom Gordon, his wife, and his parents.
George Gordon married Emily; her maiden name unknown. They had Ransom Gordon (b. April 7, 1884 d. June 2, 1938), Lawrence/Laurence, and Mrs. Iva Woolridge.

Ransom married Nannie DeVore on April 1, 1903.
They had Paul Ivan Gordon(1907-1947), and Marion Gordon(male)(1915-1980).

Paul Ivan was born in Lerna, Illinois and is buried in Harlington Cemetery, Waverly, Iowa.

Any information would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hi! I have an August KRUEGER b 1858 Hinter Pommern to Ludwig and Frederika KRUEGER (possibly nee HINZ). My connection is his brother Friedrich b 1848, with whom August was living in the 1880 Census. Friedrich named a son after him, b 1885 Bremer County who I think died in 1968. Is this your family as well?

KNOTT Livery, 1800s, Waverly, Iowa, USA

emilyhulbert — 2009-09-05 02:29:30Z

I am looking for any information on Knotts Livery that was in Waverly, Iowa. Edward Knott & Co. was run by Edward Knott and his sons John and Alfred. Edward is my 3x Great Grandfather.

I know it was started sometime before 1888 and burned to the ground in 1903. A year later the Short Line Depot was built on the same spot. It was located on the corner of Bremer Avenue and 1st Street SE.

In an advertisment and in the new Waverly book, Etched in Time, it was written that "Edward Knott and Co. as importers of blooded horses had the largest and best equipped stables in this part of the country and when combined with the livery stables of Edward Knott and Sons there was barn room for 200 horses and an endless variety of carriages, buggies, surreys, hacks, and other modern equipages. Mr. Knott and his sons, John and Alfred, are leaders in the horse industry of Iowa from the Atlantic to the mountains."

Edward was born on March 4, 1842 in Treyford, Sussex, England.

Any information would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

I was wondering if you could share any information you have on James and Matilda (Knott) Hooker. I have their birth and death dates from their gravestone in South Dakota...

http://southdakotagravestones.org/view.php?id=15415

Matilda's father, Alfred Knott, is my 4x Great Grandfather.
From the information I've gotten from your other posts on here, they moved in 1879 and had a child William Alfred Hooker. I have no other information on them.
Anything you share would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Alfred Knott is my 4x Great Grandfather. His daughter Matilda is James Hooker's(born 1807) daughter-in-law.
James Hooker is buried in Harlington Cemetery in Waverly, Iowa. This link will show you James' gravestone, along with his wife Phoebe, and two of their sons, Newton and William.

Another son, James Avery Hooker, married Matilda Knott. They are buried in South Dakota. This website will show you their gravestones.

I should have mentioned this, Alfred and Jane Knott came to America in 1855. :-)

Wow!! You're amazing! Thank you so much for this information. Harry would make the 11th child of Alfred and Jane, that's something we've been trying to find for so long!

I have that Alfred Knott married Jane Blonden(June 14, 1817-Dec 29,year?).

Do you know anything about Edward Knott...He ran a livery stable in Waverly, Iowa and imported blooded horses from England.
I also have that he was a "buyer and shipper of horses from Waverly to Buffalo, Boston, and New York; at which places he had branch stables."

What you've found already is great! Thanks so much!

emilyhulbert — 2009-09-06 16:55:37Z

Do you have any death dates or places for these people? There was also 3 more sisters to Matilda, Martha Ann, Mary, and Minnie(1855-1863). Is there any information on them anywhere?
Thanks for the lookups!! It's really appreciated!

TO EMILY

Sussex BMD's prior to 1837 are not generally available online nor with the IGI so I cannot substantiate your Jane 14th June 1817

Nor, can I find a marriage

I would suggest, that you do a new message - on the UK - SUSSEX board - to see if anyone there could do a look up for you, especially now you have additional info - most prob. the marriage would be in Chichester

Re: Matilda Knott

You are most welcome!

If one of you obtained a copy of:

Births Jun 1847
Knott Hannah
registered in Brighton
Volume 7
Page 277

(I have gone for this one as the wording for the others I can't fathom albeit I know Sussex quite well)

which is available online @ a cost of £7 (stirling) all inclusive of worldwide postage, it will show mums maiden name which hopefully, will lead to a marriage

Just for info, Hampnett is just outside Chichester, West Sussex & Bosham is also outside Chichester (slightly South West) - both still very pretty villages - Bosham (pronounced BO SUM) is on the sea (front)
