Hi!

I just came upon your website. My grandfather Arnold Bernard Knierim just
passed away on May 27, 1999. His family donated land for the city of
Knierim, IA, which is located in Calhoun County, IA. He and his brother
both had daughters, so this Knierim line ends here. Thought you might be
interested in this info.

Dear Jerry, Hell-o! I have found out so much more about my family than I knew when I first contacted you. It has been exciting and interesting and I can’t thank you enough for including me in the family stuff even with the spelling change. I have found two branches of the family (Mary in Tenn. and Robert in Indiana) that have kept the old spelling of the name. I converse with them often and we have been sharing what information we have. I I have pictures of Augustus and Hattie who are my gr. gr. grandparents. My Aunt Naomi (wife of the second Harvey) shared those and others with me and what treasures they are! It is a thrill to have them. I also have their (Augustus and Hattie’s) marriage certificate which is framed on my wall. This document is huge (18x20 inches) and is 130 years old! It is a little damaged because it was rolled in a tube and got water damage, but it is wonderful to have. Aunt Naomi gave it to me! Robert and Mary have also shared the pictures that they have with me and it is so wonderful to look at these people. Mary shared a three generation picture which was taken in 1901. It is a picture of Vincent (from whom she is descended) and his family. Anyway, I was thrilled to hear from you. I thought that you had forgotten about me! Sending my thanks for your help! Dawn

Jerry, Surfing the net I found your oblique query on Kneirim. This is a tiny (pop. ~ 60) town in Calhoun County. It is part of the Manson School District. I gre up inmanson where my dad was the doctor for the northern part of Calhoun County, including Knierim. Knierim was a typical railroad right-of-way town. That is, the Illinois-Central RR established settlements every few miles adjacent to its tracks. The villages (including Knierim and Manson, I believe) were named after mid-level executives at the RR Main Offices in Chicago. Hope that helps! Daniel Wilson, MD

I don't know where I have been---this is a fantastiche site. I must keep my head in the sand. I will check this again and often.

I have 11 generations of Knierims from central Germany, primarirly from Mitterode and from Niedergude/Alheim to the year 1611.

I received much help from Adam Ackerman whom Karl Knierim of this site has quoted receiving some information. This is very exciting and I am very pleased.

I will be in touch again - any of you who wish to contact me my e-mail is rsk@proc2000.sannet.gov or I also have "JUNO" (can't transpit pictures or attachments on Juno) but my Juno address is RKnierim1@juno.com

Subject: Additional Knierim's ?

I am trying to locate information on Knierim’s in my family tree, and specifically information on living cousins.

My great grandfather was William John Knierim. He was born on June 20, 1863 in Iowa (1900 census, death and marriage certificates). His mother was either named Katherin, born Dec 1830 in Germany(1900 census for Johnson Co., Iowa and death certificate) who at that time had 5 living children with 3 deceased and/or her name was Barbara C. (Willis) Knierim where the C may stand for Catherine (marriage certificate Johnson Co.). She immigrated to this country in 1853 according to the 1900 census. His father’s name was John Knierim (death and marriage certificate) and was born in Germany and was not alive in 1900.

William married Emma Elizabeth Beck on Jan 1, 1903. Her parents were Henry Beck and Anna (Spragler) (according to marriage certficate) or Julia Ann (according to the 1870 cesus which is also the year she died, believed poisoned). Emma was the youngest of three children at the time of her mother’s death.

William died in 1906 leaving my Grandmother, Gertrude aged 17 months, and Emma alone. The circumstances of his death are unfortunate. He was at St. Luke’s hospital while regaining his conscience after exploratory surgery. The nurse that was supposed to be present wasn’t, so as he was waking up, he thought it was time to go to work and proceeded to walk outside a window and fell and died within the next day or two. His death certificate says that he died of stomach trouble of some kind and referred to a fast he had undertaken as a contributing factor. He is buried in Riverside Cemetary in Denver, CO.

Any information that you might have would be enormously appreciated.

Sincerely,

Grace E. Miazza

Hello fellow Knierim,

I saw your web page on the Knierim’s. It appears that you also live in Arizona (I live in Gilbert, AZ) so we have that in common. More to the point, I see mention of a John Knierim that originated in Germany. (yeah, about every 3rd or 4th male in the family is John or David) My question is:

When did he land in the US? Was he perchance on a boat in 1856? Dad has a copy of the manifests that lists several John Knierims (all related, of course) on a ship that left Bremen in (if I remember right)1856 or thereabouts.

That is as far back as we’ve been able to trace our lineage so far. I’d be very interested in any information you can shed on the subject. Also, does

your particular branch pronounce Knierim "can AIR um"? There is a branch I’ve heard about that the K is silent...

Thanks,

Ken Knierim

P.S. My grandfather was from Missouri. He moved to Montana during the Depression to work as a doctor on the WPA project building a dam on the Missouri River in eastern Montana. He liked the area and the people and stayed. I moved to Arizona to go to DeVry in ‘82. I’ve moved around a bit but keep coming back to the desert because of the stuff to do and there are jobs here. I like being employed for some reason.... And I’m trying to piece together as much of the family tree as I can.

Hi! My name is Lisa Medgaus from St. Louis, MO. I ran into Bob Knierim at my grocery store and he told me to write.

My g-g-grandmother was Louise (Lusia) Knierim Sander, b.1850, d. 1899, both in St. Louis. According to a local historian, Mr. Ross Waggoner, her father was John Knierim b. 1829 Germany, d.1901. Her mother was Anna Katherina Kehr, b.1823 Germany, d. 1881. I have visited their burial sites here in St. Louis.

I am just starting to look for documents to back this up. Do you have info that will help? Or a relative who has info? It would be much appreciated.

I have many files in GEDCOM if we want to share any information. Thanks!

My name is Jerry too—perhaps our name can challenge John in the next century. There are many John’s in my family including my father and brother !

This is a good thing you are doing and I appreciate being a part of this effort.
