Bio
Ludwig Knoepfel was born in Germany in 1851. He came to America in 1881, arriving in Howard county, Nebraska, August 1, of that year, and the following month settled on a homestead on section six, township fourteen, range twelve, occupying the place ever since that time. Here he has gone through all the pioneer experiences, continuously engaged in stock and grain raising, and now owns a finely improved farm, and enjoys the esteem of his fellowmen. Mr. Knoepfel was married in Germany in 1877, to Elizabeth Kammer, and they have a fine family of six children: Christian, William, Sophia, Albertina, Henry and Susan, all married and settled in nice homes in and about Howard county, with the exception of Henry, who is still single. Mrs. Knoepfel died on the homestead on December 26, 1904, and her loss was sincerely mourned by her devoted family and many friends. In 1908, Mr. Knoepfel married Mrs. Catherine Nehls, who is from a prominent pioneer family of Hall county, coming to America with her parents when she was a child of eight years of age, from Russia, but being of German descent.
