My grandmother on my father's side was Grace Rose.The Rose family lived next door to the George R. Knapp family in Vinton, Benton Co., Iowa (according to the 1880 and 1900 census).I found a mailing to my grandmother from Esther Knapp of the obituary for Mrs. George R Knapp and also the funeral card for her service.I also have a Christmas greeting (postmarked 1937) from "The Knapps" the return address is 407 W. 6th, Vinton.It includes a personal note, but the card is the interesting part.It is a card that "father" made (it is signed George R. Knapp).I would be happy to send these to you - I think they should be with their family.I will make copies for my records - if you know who wrote the Christmas note would you let me know?I was fascinated by the posting on the Benton Co Iowa genweb about George R Webb's "Injuries from Lightning."You can email me your address (I believe my email is available by clicking on my name.
