This gentleman has been a resident of Tama County since 1866, settling in Otter Creek township, upon what was known as the Staley farm. When Mr. Knapp came to the County he brought with him a large herd of sheep, intending to go into that business but owing to the cold winters shortly after disposed of his herd of sheep and went to farming. Since 1877, besides carrying on his farm he has been engaged in the above business in Toledo , since which date he has been doing a large business always paying the highest possible price for grain and stock.
