Dear Anna,
The Aunt Mamie Knable who was a family friend and my mom still remembers lived in the St. Louis, Missouri area as far as I know. My GGM Rose Feldhaus (nee Krawiecki) was born in Washington County Illinois but was married in St. Louis City and resided in the St. Louis area most of her life.
Rosie's sister in law Clara Feldhaus married Teddy Butz in St. Louis City and I believe the Lulu Butz mentioned in the Obituary probobly had some connection to Teddy Butz if only by marriage.
I remember my mom telling me that a house on St. Ann's Lane in Normandy, Missouri (which is still standing..btw) was Lulu Butz' house..."Scrammy's" (Rose) friend. Rosie was born Nov. 1888 and died in the late 1970's. I imagine her friends Lulu Butz, and "Aunt Mamie Knable" were likely of her generation.
I think my mom has a mass card for one of the Knables. May have been Mamies husband or a son. If you want I'll have her get it out or maybe I could put you in touch with mom.

Thank you for your message regarding the obituary as well as your friend's Aunt Mamie Knable. You did not mentin the state that Aunt Mamie Knable resided. When the family sailed from LaHare France, they spelled the name Knable. And some still do over here. But my husband's family changed the spelling to Knaebel. They added the "e" in place of an umlaut. We are probably related way back as the original group came in through Louisana and sailed up the Ohio River to Indiana, Evansville and that is were my husband's father came from before he moved to Missouri. I have researched their family and have some information if anyone would like it.
My maiden name of "Dorge" did not add the "e" for the umlaut. I don''t know why. But they are hard to find having arrived at Ellis Island on December 4, 1924. But I do thank you and the whole list for all and any assistance. It has been a most helpful and caring list.
God Bless
Anna Dorge Knaebel in Missouri, USA
