Francis Knops of Clark Co., WI
Francis Knop owned and operated a cheese factory 15 miles southwest of Greenwood, WI.
***Family Note:
The Knops are mainly from Glenwood, Wisconsin and I'm not really sure of how or why Francis went to your neck of the woods. According too my source, when he sold the cheese place, he moved to Chicago. At the time of the World War II Draft, he was living in Seif, Clark County, Wisconsin and he later lived in Stratford, Marathon County, Wisconsin.
