Matthew Knoll Immigrated to the U.S. in 1889 and resided in Frontenac, Crawford, KS where he met Anna Wiesenbacher.

Matthew worked in the coal mines around Pittsburg, KS, and retired from mining around the time of the depression. During the depression he and Anna lived on a farm east of Columbus. Also living with them from 1928-1930 was their daughter Kathryn, husband, Paul, and their daughter, Mary Ann. Matthew and Anna lived in the same apartment building in Germany.
