Lewis Knapp, known all over the

tombstone ever heard of, died of heart
disease recently, aged IS years. He
was one of the earliest pioneers of
Kenosha, and as merchant of the
early days took active part in the COM
mercial rivalry of the time when it was
believed Kenosha was destined to OUT
strip Chicago. Hc retired from active
life is years ago, and since that time
had been active in erecting the monu-
ments which have been the source Of
his notoriety, and TO see which thou
sands of people have come to Kenosha
from all parts of the country. Tho
features of the monuments, modest ap-
Pearing in themselves, which have at
tracted such wide interest are the in
scriptions. On one tombstone erected
for himself he has for years advertised
that "He Died as He Had Lived for
Forty Years, Thoroughly Infdel to All
Ancient and Modern Theological Hum
bug Myths" There are five of the monu-
ments, all erected in the city cemetery,
on the most prominent elevation. Tho
inscriptions on them would fill proba-
bly, two columns of an ordinary news
paper, and are all most pronounced in
sentiment against the Christian re-
ligion.
