The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1918-12-21

Mr.. Knollenberg was identified dur
ing his active career with many or
CARNATIONS. Among some OF them
were: The Home for Friendless
Women, Associated Charities, Y. M.
G. A.. Lotus club, Tourist club, music
associations, and number OF clubs
that have disbanded. He was di-
rector Of the Commercial club and was
member of the committee that pro-
NOTED the Westcot hotel. Since its
organization he has been director OF
the Indiana Dry Goods Association.
Pays for Education.
Scores Of young men and women
were sent to college by Mr.. Knollen-
berg to be educated at his expense.
In some instances the young men and
women did not know who the benefac-
tor was that paid their bills. He was
constantly on the alert to discover a
poor boy or girl who wanted a college
education-but could not pay for it.
Convinced that boy or girl had the
traits of character that make for sue
cess, Mr.. Knollenbery quietly arrang-
ed for the schooling.
He refused to accept a return OF
the money he expended for their ed
ucation. Occasionally he accepted the
money, only to use 1t again for the ed
ucation of another boy or girl who
appealed to him.
Contributes to Churches.
His contributions for mission work
and for the education of ministers of
the gospel extended over many years.
He gave thousands upon thousands OF
dollars for church purposes, without
letting the community know anything
about it. Often his family did not
know Of his gifts. He was a liberal
supporter of the Y. M. c. A., and was
active in its affairs long before the
association had building of its own.
The Associated Charities was another
institution that received many SUBJ

reform that would make better men

the general tone of the community
His benefactions, seldom publicly an

dollars.
Throughout his long career he was

In 1905 he was elected treasurer of
the General Lutheran Synod, the
largest body Of the denomination in
the United States, serving until 1918.
when this synod united with two other
bodies into the Lutheran church mer-
ger. His f1nal report was the best In
the history Of the General Synod. He
was intensely interested in foreign
mission work, giving literally for the
cause.
In the movement to unite the va
rious Lutheran bodies into one organic
whole, Mr.. Knollenberg was one of the
leading laymen of the United States
to further the cause. He served as
member Of the board of directors Of
Wittenberg College for many years.
Mr. Knollenberg urged the formation
OF the First and Second English Lu-
theran churches, and financially sup

their history.

of the citizens was intimately related
to the establishment of new factories
in Richmond. He often urged this
policy before the Commercial club and
never held aloof when movements
were on foot to bring new industries
to the city.

LIFT FOOD BAN

Beginning last Monday all restric-
tions on public eating places are lifted.
This announcement was made by Ed
mund Mitchell, food administrator for
Delaware.
There is now no reason why anyone
should not have all the butter, bread,
cheese and meats that he wishes. It
is solely a question between the pa
tron and the proprietor.
In lifting the ban the food admin
istration asks that the American pub
lie shall not forget the great want and
need for food in Europe. 1t asks that
no food be wasted. There is enough
here for all our needs and if none is
wasted to supply those neutral nations
in Europe and our allies, and in
measure save millions from dying
from hunger.
Dispatches from abroad state that
there are millions in Russia who will
die OF starvation this winter because
food cannot be gotten to them in time
to prevent it.

Death OF Daniel c. Townsend. Pioneer
in the Business in Sussex
County

Daniel c. Townsend. aged 76 years.
one of the most prominent and widely
known men in Sussex county, died on
Thursday, December 10, 1918. after a
lingering illness. al his home in
Georgetown. Deceased leaves a widow
and TWO daughters. Mrs. Anderson.
wife OF former State Senator Harry
J. Anderson. of Fairmount, and Mrs.
Ruddell. wife of Thomas Arthur Rud-
dell OF Milford
Mr.. Townsend was considered one
of the wealthiest men in the county.
having amassed his fortune in the
charcoal business. He spent his early
life in New Jersey and New York
states. Believing Sussex county was
a fertile field in which to operate in
the charcoal burning business, he came
70 Sussex county, settled and started
in the business. He was considered
the pioneer in lower Delaware and
possibly engaged in it for half a cen
tury. In those days the county con-
tanned much timber, especially forests
of pine. As money was scarce and
hard TO get by many of the timberland
owners. il was an easy matter for
young pine woods, when considered OF
little value. TO be purchased for sums
ranging from 81 to s. per acre. As
a result of the low prices for pine
wood and the excellent opportunities
10 get labor, it was only a short time
before the business became profitable.
There was then a great demand for
charcoal for art work and in the large
New York hotels. where most of it
was disposed of at a good profit.
For the past ten years Mr.. Town
send had practically lived a retired
life, having disposed of his store.
which was operated at FairmOunt for
many years for the benefit of the large
of men whom he employed. to
his son-in-law. Senator Anderson, who
still conducts the business.
Mr. Townsend was an ardent Repub-
lican but never took an active part
in politics. rather preferring TO stay
ia the background. Several times he
was approached TO accept the nom
nation for a county office. but always
refused because of Ais business ac-
.ivity.
