Message Board Post:
I recently discovered I had a Great Uncle, Fred Knecht. He, apparently
traveled
west to find Gold. My Uncles, today, tell me they received word in
the 1930's that Fred Knecht was shot and killed. They also informed me that
they received word from either the Elks Club, or Moose Club in Nevada that
they were taking care of the buring of Fred Knecht and if the family wished
to contact them to proceed to Nevada.
My Uncles traveled to the State of Nevada sometime in the 1930's. They
can't remember were they went. When they got to their destination they could
not find anyone to help them locate the burial site of their Uncle Fred
Knecht.
Now, in 2003, they are remembering this as an unsolved mystery and wish to
find out
anything they can regarding their missing Uncle Fred Knecht. He
was born between 1878 and 1882, probably in St. Peter, IL. We have no
record of a marriage or children.
Any help regarding this missing relative would be appreciated.
Thank you
Karen Zelmer
