Lucien P. Knapp, eldest son of Major Jacob W. Knapp, died on Sunday Morning at 8 o'clock, aged 48 years. Mr. Knapp was born Oct. 20th, 1842, and when 14 years of age learned the trade of printing in the Western New Yorker office. At the breaking out of the war when he was not yet 18 years of age he enlisted in Co. K. 17th Reg. N.Y. Vols. of which Gideon H. Jenkins was Captain. At the expiration of his two years term of service he went to work on a paper in Ohio and re-enlisted in a regiment from that state, but was immediately transferred to Co. D, 1st N.Y. Dragoons of which his father was Captain, and served until the war closed. He was an excellent printer and has one good work as compositor upon several different newspapers including the TIMES and New Yorker. Funeral services were held on Tuesday afternoon from the residence of Major Knapp on Genesee street, in charge of Gibbs Post G.A.R, Rev. W. A. Hobbs being the officiating clergyman. Mr. Knapp leaves a wife, two daughters and one son. He is survived also by his aged father, two sisters and one brother.
On the evening of March 13th while Mr. Knapp was in Vosburgh's saloon, alcohol was thrown upon his clothing and set on fire. The pants he wore were of cotton fabric and his legs were terribly burned before the fire could be extinguished. He was taken to his home and Dr. Palmer summoned. The following Wednesday he was removed to his father's house on Genesee street, where he received most faithful and tender care from his wife and sisters. The severe burns were on the under side of the left leg where the cords and arteries were exposed as the burnt flesh sloughed off. The most skillful medical attention was given him by Dr. Palmer, with Dr. Baker as consulting physician. The shock to Mr. Knapp's nervous system was so great and the burns so severe that from the first there seemed small chance of his recovery. For the past three weeks he has been almost constantly in a state of mild delirium, only occasionally seeming to recognize his friends or realize his condition, and on Sunday morning the end came.
On Monday afternoon Coroner Clute empaneled the following jury: John P. Randall (foreman), M. G. Rowe, Marshall Richards, A.B. Bishop, John Hanigan, Walter B. Fargo, Robert Barnett, A. P. Gage and Samuel Crawford. E. E. Charles assisted the Coroner. Drs. Palmer and Baker performed an autopsy and after taking the testimony of Dr. Palmer the inquest was adjourned to Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock. At that time Dr. Baker's testimony was heard, and another adjournment taken until this (Wednesday) morning."

Mrs. Ellen A. Knapp passed away at her home on Prospect Street, Warsaw on Monday evening after an illness of several weeks. Mrs. Knapp was born in Arcade, N.Y. on the 12th day of February, 1854, and had reached the age of 82 years. Her home had been in Warsaw for 68 years. Mrs. Knapp was of Irish parentage. Her father was Patrick Healon and her mother, Margaret Stanton Healon, both of whom were born in Limerick, Ireland. She married soon after coming to Warsaw in 1873, to Mr. Lucien P. Knapp, a veteran of the Civil War. Mr. Knapp was a member of Company "K" of the Seventeenth Regiment of New York Volunteers, which was an infantry regiment. Company "K" was the first company to leave Warsaw for the front. Mr. Knapp's first term of service was two years, but he re-enlisted in August, 1864 and served for one year nine months. Mr. Knapp died in 1891. For twenty-five years Mrs. Knapp was a member of the Women's Relief Corps. She was also a member of the Congregational Church in Warsaw. Through the years she has had a host of friends who were appreciative of her fine qualities of character and personality. She was a very unusual woman. The calmness and quietness and faith with which she had always met her portion of life's trials and difficulties have been impressed upon the minds of those who knew her best. She always preferred to live quietly and was devoted to her work, her home and her children. Mrs. Knapp's personality was magnetic, because of her genial disposition, her keen sense of humor, her just and kindly estimate of others and her unusual commonsense. She had a strong and real Christian faith. She possessed an abundant degree of real goodness. Mrs. Knapp is survived by two daughters, Mrs. B. G. Yells of Rochester and Mrs. Robert Mann of Warsaw, and one son, Mr. Bert Knapp of Warsaw, and seven grandchildren and five great grandchildren. The final service was held at the Weeks Funeral Home Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 and the burial was in the family plot in the Warsaw cemetery. The Rev. George D. Miller conducted the service."
