Hi Deborah;
Your Caroline appears to be the the same as described in these records:
from "THE KNAPPS IN MASON CO.", Ollie Raines (l956)
"John Knapp was born in 1783 or 1782. He died at the age of 84 in 1867. His wife was Sarah Oliver. They moved around quite a lot... The oldest daughter was born 1811 and was named Elizabeth but was always known as Betsey. ... I think the third child was Caroline. Was born in 1813 ...
Caroline married Gilbert B. (Bird) Amos and they soon went to Iowa where they kept Hotel. There were about ten children but I do not know their names, only Susan who married a Ramsey. One girl lived in Montana in 1910 the year Susan
died. Caroline died when 85. Mr. and Mrs. Amos visited relatives in Mason County about 1887 after an absence of nearly forty years and had a small grand-daughter with them whose mother was dead."
The Elizabeth / "Betsey" Knapp above is 3rd great grandmother, so it appears you have found the obit for her sister Caroline.
